We were watching The Incredibles after dinner and suddenly
felt the need for chocolate cake. (I blame the choice of movie. We’d just
reached the scene where Mr. Incredible sneaks into the kitchen and swipes the
last piece of chocolate cake.) I pulled out my old steam canner and pressed it
into service. I cut down an old recipe for steamed chocolate cake so it would
make four servings instead of eight, and it was ready to eat before the movie
was over.
Steamed Chocolate Cake
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
Beat sugar and butter together, add eggs and stir until well
blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and cocoa. Add
dry ingredients to wet and stir until just combined. Turn into buttered seven-inch
cake pan. Cook in steamer half an hour, until completely set. Serve warm with
whipped cream.
