Combine caster sugar, evaporated milk, vanilla extract or essence, and butter in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts. Remove from heat and keep warm. Once the evaporated milk mixture has slightly cooled, add the beaten eggs and rum (if using), and stir until well combined.

Heat up the steamer. Line and grease an 8 or 9-inch (20 or 23-cm) round baking pan. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, place it in the steamer, and cover the top loosely with a piece of aluminum foil. Cover the steamer and steam over medium heat for 45 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan before turning it out and decorating.
