Once in blue moon, you wanted something different from the usually oven-baked goodies/ cakes etc.. one turned to the also endless possibilities of baking cake using steamer.. why not? its a perfect choice and most steamed cakes, are moister and fluffier ( in my opinion only). So yours truely trawled the wide world of web loking for a simple ( hehe ..it has to be..I am definitely in a lazy mode at this point) yet finger licking good steamed butter cake.. hmm but easier said than done. Found hundrends of recipes for steam chocolate cakes but only handfuls for basic butter cake.
After looking recipes after regipes the yes started to get blurry, and I think why not just take the familiar Steamed Chocolate Cake by BEBOP and adapted it to a butter cake instead...

After tweaking her and there, the result is this recipe as follow..since myself thought that the mixture lacks colour to make attractive , I just add dash of bown colouring... Ignore the pics of being blurry and no so professionally posed ( hahahah.. as like all the other photos in this blog of mine). The bottomline is this cakes is very moist and delicious too.. come and get it..
