Tip for next time: just put a brick in the pot to rest the cake tin on. ;)

[@scottishteaenthusiast2236]

What size of tin did you use?

[@salemswhich6668]

You can get vanilla powder from Holland and barrett

[@gerardacronin334]

I buy vanilla powder in Mexico, where they have it on the supermarket shelves. I have also seen it in Italy. You should really get an Instant Pot. Amazon sells them in the UK now. Amongst many other things, they are great for steaming chocolate cakes!

[@luckyduck3985]

You can do this with an instant pot (or pressure cooker} instead of a steamer. Same method, except you don't have to worry about checking water levels.

[@joshuaschritz8151]

I am DEATHLY allergic to eggs, and my oven is broken. This recipe was MADE for me Barry, cheers mate

[@StormCrownSr]

I was about to say if you had to boil and or steam it was kind of pointless to not just use the oven. But I guess it can be useful.

[@pepsimax8078]

Whenever I bake cakes I do use those spring forms, but the baking paper I have, I put on the bottom, I clamp the ring around the plate with the paper, and the paper sticks out. Never had any spillage that way 😄

[@Anna81Louise]

That's such a good idea. I cut out a circle to fit and it sticks to the bottom of the cake. Will try it your way next time.

[@Larienzia]

Same

[@Pudeta]

yeah, I do that too. If the paper is too big, just rip off some of the excess after closing the ring. But there is no leakage even without the paper. I think he just put the bottom in a slight angle in or the thing was slightly bent ... like the pot xD

[@faengerDKL]

thats, how its supposed to work

[@KuMo]

"Wow, I've never heard of vanilla powder!!!" *confused Swedish noises* I didn't see any "vanilla extract" until I was an adult lol. Vanilla powder is what EVERYONE uses here and always have!

[@annabear3553]

[@SteveW1985]

Definitely not in Britain (Upper lip is so stiff its locked)

[@zirie3200]

Not always... have "we"? I can't recall vanilla powder from my childhood. Vanilla sugar that we had... but not the black dry powder. And the extract I didn't see until "recently" meaning about 10years perhaps. I'm ot really a baker... well not at all actually. :-) :-D

[@radiomanjk]

Yeah vanilla powder, I can't believe they don't have it in the UK, while in the rest of europe it's pretty common I guess..... Don't think you can take 1 teaspoon vanilla extract instead of vanilla powder, because extract is concentrated I believe.

[@JJ-Malone]

@@radiomanjk Really?! It's widely been sold in UK for decades lol. It's what I have always used when baking. Blows my mind not even most Brits know it exists I think people just confused as it's called vanilla sugar not vanilla powder. Just like icing sugar is actually in powder form.

[@CR0SBO]

"Chocolate cake is chocolate cake." Truer words were never spoken, such wisdom.

[@Livetoeat171]

I found that by using the rings for the canning jars for under the cake, work wonderful! And you don't have to worry about it being level because every ring is exactly the same height

[@Smileyyn]

Vanilla powder is a thing almost everyone has in their cupboards here in Sweden. Although here it’s called “Vaniljsocker” and translates to vanilla sugar. I always have a box in the back of my pantry 😄

[@CharmEng89]

Hey Barry! Love your home made steamer, so clever! Some tips :) I think your cake cracked because water dripped onto the surface of the cake when it condensed on the underside of the foil. You can mitigate this a little by covering the pan with a cloth instead of foil, but make sure it hasn't been washed with any strong smelling products or your pudding will smell like Comfort (ask me how I know, hah!). Secondly, instead of aluminium balls, you can use a heatproof glass/ ceramic bowl/ ?metal cookie cutters? so that you have less of an issue with lopsided cakes. This is quite fun and I reckon you'd be able to do it in a rice cooker (as I have heard of done before)! Looks amazing, hope to try it!

[@sophiemccormick6796]

2:58 yes it does we have it in Denmark and it's called vaniljesukker which translates to vanilla sugar

[@aKiZoT]

That is not the same thing at all. Vanilla sugar can be bought in various British stores (Tesco for example, but also Lidl, Aldi, not sure about Sainsbury’s though). Vanilla powder is very finely grated vanilla beans and usually a lot darker than the vanilla sugar stuff.

[@CHR1271N3]

[@janetlempinen4925]

Always wrap the bottom of the spring pan with tin foil to seal it! The warp very easily 🤩love you Lewis family

[@silver5515]

I always seal my loose bottomed tins with butter, to avoid spilling the batter. Just take a generous amount of butter and smooth it generously over the joint with a finger. It should look a bit like the silicone between like sink and counter or the corner of the shower. Once the butter melts the batter will be firm enough to stay in place.

[@solistheonegod]

I ate a tub of that marmite hummus the other week. It’s beautiful 😻

[@kendon81]

you add the lemon juice to the milk to make a sour milk/cheats butter milk......the acid reacts with the baking powder to make it rise.

I make chocolate cake, you just skip the egg. Choose a ‘one egg’ recipe, and just omit the egg. It comes out great. Don’t do it with a recipe that calls for two or three eggs though.

I've cooked with vanilla powder, it helps if your being careful with the liquid content in a recips...like with frostings for example. I actually think it was stronger in taste when compared to the extract.

[@pegkovalchuck7194]

We call this kind of cake Steamed Chocolate Pudding. It is a family tradition at holidays. We make a frozen vanilla icing and serve the cake warm with the frozen icing slowly melting/oozing down the cake slice. It's been in the family for generations. Delicious!

[@CartB0X]

It would've gone like that in the middle because there was a dip in the middle of the foil so the steam would have dripped down into the centre of the cake

[@benvinson1164]

Going with the entire steaming setup reminded me how I used my instant pot to steam the Christmas pudding last year. Instead of eight hours of steaming, it was only an hour of IP.

[@chhouy23]

[@MareSerenitis]

This makes a p. good microwave cake. I halved all the amounts & mixed it all in a lttle plastic pudding dish and loosely covered it with cling film. From trail & error it took ~4:30 to cook through @ 600W. It looks a bit drier than how yours turned out (especially when cooled), but on the other hand - cake in 10 minutes.

To make homemade vanilla sugar it is crushed sugar til it is almost like a dust it has been done here on the channel before. you put it in a container with a lid on it. Take a vanilla pod stick it in the sugar and leave it for a week or so. (the time I do not remember exactly.) What you end with is sugar that tastes like vanilla.

Lemon juice + milk creates buttermilk after some agitation - I use it for all my cakes when I make them for my family. Always good to note! I use about two or three tablespoons in 200ml then stir and leave for twenty minutes.

[@DeeDee-xr9ml]

A lot of European recipes call for vanilla powder. I know italy makes a baking powder in a sachet mixed with vanilla powder. Paneangeli is the brand.

[@shimett]

Vanilla powder/sugar is what we use mostly here in Norway. I have never baked with vanilla extract, but that does exists too.

[@johnhiggins9020]

Vanilla powder is just vanilla extract/essence mixed with sugar. It works well with any recipe that cant take liquid flavouring. Shortbread cant take liquid but it's nice to have a vanilla flavour...thus vanilla powder.

[@jessicaneal8553]

I found vanilla powder when living in Portugal, it's vanilla essence (vanillin) - just not in liquid form. Can't find it here in NZ.

That looks decadent, Barry.😋 I wonder if the steam function on an Instant Pot pressure cooker would work? Much easier you'd just have to figure out the steaming time.

[@kyrastube]

Vanilla powder is (at least here in Sweden) much easier to come by than extract. It's like icing sugar, but with the taste of, of course, vanilla. I think you can make your own quite easy by mixing regular icing sugar with either vanilla seeds or just put the whole pod in the same can and leave it there for a while to leave it's taste.

I find calling a no bake cake kind of a bit daft...I mean true it is no bake (i.e. steamed) but it is still cooked and steaming is more faff than baking?!?

[@BonnyL]

My grandmother used to make a chocolate cake called "whacky cake" - she mixed all the dry ingredients in the baking pan, made three wells then put oil in one, vinegar in another and vanilla extract in the other. She then poured water over the entire thing, mixed with a fork and baked.

Vanilla powder is just vanilla extract in dextrose...so vanilla diluted in sugar. Just use a normal good quality vanilla extract or ground vanilla (which you can make yourself. Just take a vanilla pod, use the good bit inside for whatever you want to use it and then dry the rest gently in an oven, break the pod into smaller chunks and put it in a little pepper grinder - boom ground vanilla you can use in everything).

To keep from opening the steamer to check on the water level drop a penny in the bottom. When the water gets too low the penny will start bouncing alerting you turn to add more hot water.

If you use a trivet and cover the batter tightly with foil you can just add extra boiling water by aiming the kettle away from the cake tin/cake pan.
