In Collaboration With Floral Garage Singapore

This post is in collaboration with Floral Garage Singapore.

Floral Garage Singapore is an established Singapore florist company comprised of a team of passionate floral hobbyists and professional florists. They offered wide range of flowers from hand bouquets to table centrepiece to standing flowers and even gifts. They also served corporate clients and individuals, and does delivery in Singapore. They are also looking for opportunities to franchise their business.

I had the opportunity to collaborate with them recently, using their flower centrepiece to compliment my cake presentation. Their flowers bright and fresh. It made my cake stands out more. The flower display recommended by them is called Martial. Thank you Floral Garage SG for this wonderful opportunity.

For this function of mine, I made Zoe’s Steamed Chocolate Cake. There were only good reviews on this cake from my guests. For your next function, why not try this combination - flower centrepiece from Floral Garage SG and Zoe's Steamed Chocolate Cake. It is easy to make and taste delicious without frostings.

 

Recipe for Steamed Moist Chocolate Cake, adapted from Bake for Happy Kids

(Makes a 10x10 and 6x6, serves at least 60 people)

Ingredients:

200g Unsalted butter

120g Caster sugar
100g Light brown sugar
360g Evaporated milk
4 large eggs, about 70g each with shell and lightly beaten
2 tsp Vanilla extract
200g Plain flour
100g Cocoa powder, preferably Dutch process (I used Valrhona)
2 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Baking soda
1/2 tsp Fine sea salt

Method:

1. Line the bottom of the square pans with a piece of baking paper. Preheat steam oven.

2. Add butter, both sugars and evaporated milk in a large saucepan. Place the saucepan over a low heat and use a hand whisk to whisk mixture while cooking until sugar is completely dissolved and mixture is smooth.

3. Remove saucepan from the heat. Allow mixture to cool until it is nearly like room temperature or cool enough to touch.

4. Add eggs and vanilla into the butter mixture and whisk until combined.

5. In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. 

6. Sift flour mixture into the butter mixture and whisk until all are just combined. Do not over mix. Cake batter is runny.

7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and place the pans into the steam oven. Cover pan with a large piece of foil.

8. Set the steam oven for 45mins at 100C.

9. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before removing it onto a wire rack. 

10. Slice the cake into 1cm thick and 3cm long each. 

11. Arrange them into the tier cake display, together with Floral Garage flowers.
