No-Bake Choco Butternut Loaf Cake Recipe

In a large bowl, combine and sift the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and sugar. Mix until well combined. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: hot water, instant coffee powder, white vinegar, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until combined.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Mix until well incorporated and the batter becomes smooth. Do not over mix.

Pour the cake batter into a greased 8x4-inch loaf pan. Tap 3 times to release air bubbles.

Steam the cake for 50 to 60 minutes or until the toothpick inserted comes out clean. Wrap the lid with a kitchen towel to avoid water from dripping onto the cake. (Another option instead of steaming is to bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C for 35 to 40 minutes or until the toothpick inserted comes out clean.) 

Create the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, fresh milk, and vanilla. Once done, pour glaze onto the cake.

Create the choco butternut coating by mixing all-purpose flour, white sugar, melted butter, nutmeg powder, powdered sugar, and orange food coloring. Once done, coat the whole cake with butternut coating. Slice the cake and enjoy!
