I was trying to make cake by steaming it, but so far i never succeed. Is there any tips so that my cake can be cooked properly? Should i replace butter with cooking oil? I'm quite frustrated, since my aunt taught me how to do it, but so far no success.

Take a cooker,fill it with 1 inch water.place a stand inside and then on the stand the cake batter in baking utensil.Close the cooker and do not put on the weight.Check out after forty minutes or so.So simple and easy. I guess making a steamed cake is not much dependent on the amount of butter or oil. Happy Cooking!

Can i ask what kind of cooker? Is it the steaming cooker, like the one used in steaming dim sum (chinese food style) or a simple rice cooker? I have been tempted to try steaming it in mom's brand-new pressurized rice cooker, but lack the courage.

I'm not sure as I have never steamed a cake but I would have thought butter would have been fine, espically as they used ot steam loads of things in the past and they didn't have oil in those days. Hope this helps you a little bit
