This recipe, however, makes use of steaming to help the cake rise, as opposed to butter or shortening compounded by the heat of an oven—making for a cake that requires very little oil for you receive your desired fluffy cakes. Easy to make and even easier to eat up with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, these cakes are lighter on the calories, making your dessert time guilt-free and kinder to your waistline. You can slather on a light, quick icing or simply top it with some peanut butter and fruity jelly—it’s also quite portable and perfect as a sweet treat in a lunchbox.
