I developed this recipe for chocolate lovers. Steaming produces a very moist, rich chocolate cake without the use of butter or cream.

If you don’t have time to make the sweetened orange strips that are added to the cake, use 2 to 3 tablespoons bitter orange marmalade instead, and add the orange liqueur along with the marmalade to the melted chocolate.

You will need a 9- to 10-inch-diameter, 3-inch-deep cake pan, preferably springform, lined with parchment paper.
