Steamed Black and White Butter Cake

For this cake I used Steamed Soft Chocolate Cake recipe. I made some adjustment here and there. I didn't use baking soda and the air holes were smaller. This time half way through the steaming process, I sprinkled diced almond on the surface to cover the air holes and gave the cake some crunch. Actually, I intended to make a Marble Cake however I was in a rush to fetch my son. I quickly pour a lay of plain batter and top it up with the chocolate batter and used a knife to swirl around. So I name it 'Steamed Black and White Butter Cake'.
