110 ml / ½ cup Milk

Procedure

Prepare your steamer and let it heat up. Line a 6*6 square pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, sift together the Mastercook Maida, Cocoa powder, Sugar, Baking soda and powder.
Add the milk, oil, lemon juice and vanilla.
Whisk well to combine, the mixture will be runny.
Add it to your prepared baking tray. Cover tightly with foil.
Steam in the steamer on medium heat for 45 minutes to an hour. Check it by poking a skewer into the middle, it should come out clean.

Tips for cooking

The batter will seem like barely enough for the tin, but once it is steamed it will come up more than halfway up the sides, so do not worry.
Ensure that the top is covered tightly with foil, otherwise water may seep into the cake and make it soggy.
