Place Cake Tin Into a Steamer and Cover. If You Do not Have a Steamer, You Can Place the Cake Tin on Top of a Vegetable Steaming Rack, a Cookie Cooling Rack, or Criss Cross Several Large Spoons in the Bottom of a Large Pot. I Place My Cake Tin on Top of a Cookie Cooling Rack in the Bottom of a Large Pot Filled With a Half Inch of Water, and This Works Fine. |

Cover With a Lid and Steam For 25 Minutes. When Removing the Lid, Do not Allow the Condensation from the Lid to Drip on the Cake. the Top of the Cake May Be Moist in the Center from the Condensation Dripping from the Lid While Cooking. This Is Fine and the Center of the Cake Will Air Dry Once You Remove the Cake from the Steamer. |
