  7. Looks so yummy. As I'm new to baking, can I know what is:-
    1) cake flour ( was it plain flour, all-purpose flour or self-raising flour)
    2) Which type/brand of cocoa powder

    Thanks :)

    1. Cake flour is low protein flour without any raising agent eg baking powder,baking soda.

      Plain flour normally refer to all-purpose flour.

      Self-raising flour is flour added with raising agent(baking powder,baking soda)and normally use in baking cake.So omit the baking powder if you using self-raising flour.

      I used to buy prepacked cocoa powder from baking ingredients supply shop-brand? unknown :P Use any type of baking cocoa powder you like.

  8. Look moist and good. I remembered tried a condensed milk pound cake before but it was too sweet, I think you added cocoa and coffee has reduced the sweetness level of this cake , great idea!

    1. Agreed. Original condensed milk pound cake use quite a lot of sugar. Although with cocoa powder added I still need to reduce the amount of sugar.

  10. Hi Vivian, experimented your recipe & came out great, especially the cake texture, steam-baked method has boosted my confidence in baking cake. Just wonder if we could adopt this method for cupcake & muffin too?

    Thanks for sharing.

    1. Cupcakes and muffins are meant to be cakey. So it is not suitable to use steam baked.
