Milo is one of my childhood favorite chocolate drink. I grew up drinking a cup of Milo in the morning, partnered with any breakfast that our mom prepare for us. Growing up, aside from drinking this, I used to eat this treat straight from its packet. It has this distinct chocolate flavor that is kinda different from cocoa. Today, I’ve experimented in the kitchen and whip up a yummy steamed Milo cake!

INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (100g)
- 4 packets milo (88g) (around 3/4 cup)
- 1 tsp. baking powder

- 3/4 cup brown sugar (150g)

PROCEDURE
1. In a mixing bowl, sift all purpose flour, milo, baking soda, baking powder ang salt. Sift to remove clumps then mix well.
2. Add milk, eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth. DO NOT OVERMIX.
2. Line the baking pan with baking or parchment paper. I used a loaf pan in this recipe. You can use round or square pan.
3. Pour the cake batter to your baking pan. Tap against the surface to remove bubbles. Cover with foil (for steaming) to prevent the steam water from dripping to the cake.
3. Steam for 35 to 40 minutes in or until toothpick comes out clean. Use medium heat. For baking, bake at 180C for 30 to 35 minutes or do toothpick test.
4. Once cooked, remove from baking pan, remove the baking paper and let it cool. Set aside while making frosting
How to Make Milo Choco Frosting
- 3 packets milo (66g) (around 1/2 cup)
- 2 tbsp. cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose cream (or milk / heavy cream)
- 1 tsp. all purpose flour (to thicken the frosting)
- 1 tbsp. butter (or margarine)
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract (optional)
- sugar as needed (OPTIONAL) (I added1/4 cup)
1. In a pot, sift milo, cocoa powder, flour and salt. Then add all purpose cream. Stir and mix well until all powder is dissolved. Taste for sweetness. Add sugar as needed. Then cook in low heat until thick while stirring continuously.
2. Once the frosting thickened, turn off heat then add butter and vanilla extract. Stir until butter melted and become smooth.
Frost your cake however you like. I added some chocolate chips.
RECIPE NOTES

- Make sure that the water in the steamer is already boiling before putting the cake.
