Steam until set
Transfer the batter to a lightly greased heatproof mold or small pan and steam over medium heat until the cake is puffed and a skewer comes out clean.
Cool and serve
Let the cake cool slightly, unmold it, and serve warm on a plate.
Storage
Wrap tightly once cooled to prevent drying out. Best texture is on the day it is made.
