Steamed Chocolate Brownies

This cake is moist and chocolicous, I dare to say. It's a real HIT for a while as a must-bring-home-cakes when you visit Bandung -The Flower City- in West Java. This recipe of course not the secret recipe of that famous steamed brownies of Bandung, but this one is even far better than the original one...Pretty easy to make really...
