Pour the batter into a lightly greased 9-inch cake pan. Steam for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, beat the butter until creamy. Add in the cocoa powder and beat until well combined. Gradually add in the confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and creamy. Frost the cake as desired.
