I tried this cake from an old cookbook. I wanted to post an eggless chocolate cake in my blog but i couldn’t do it. Now i am so happy i did a cake in pressure cooker which is very easy for beginners and for people who don’t own a oven. I just followed the recipe i noted in my cookbook and the result was soft , moist & delicious tasting chocolate cake.
I have not used oil/butter/ ghee in this recipe. But i used fresh cream & curd to bring the softness. Do try this cake. You’ll get it perfect for sure.You can also try this recipe in microwave oven ( use convection mode @ 180c) . This cake is apt for beginners.Kids would love this cake !!
Eggless chocolate cake in pressure cooker
How to make Eggless chocolate cake in pressure cooker
Cuisine: Indian
Category: Cake
Serves: 10 pieces
Prep time: 10 Minutes
Cook time: 20 Minutes
Total time: 30 Minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 cup - 250ml
PART - I
- All purpose flour/ Maida – 1 cup
- Baking powder – 3/4 tsp
- Cooking soda – 1/2 tsp
- Cocoa powder – 1.5 tbsp
- Salt –A pinch
PART-II
- Sugar – 1/2 cup
- Fresh cream – 1/2 cup
- Thick Curd – 1/3 cup
- Milk – 1/4 cup
- Vanilla essence – 1/2 tsp
|
METHOD
- Mix all the ingredients mentioned under Part - 1.Set aside.
- Powder the sugar nicely and add the other wet ingredients like curd , fresh cream & vanilla essence in the mixer and pulse in once or twice in low speed.All the ingredients will be mixed well.
- In a separate bowl take the wet ingredients and add the dry ingredients (PART-I) . mix well in the same direction. The consistency of batter should fall like a thick ribbon.If not add little more milk and mix well. Make sure consistency should be right.
- Then take a big pressure cooker and add water in the base.Keep a plate inside( just as a stand for the vessel in which u bake ,i used mini idli plate here ). Now keep the vessel over the plate. If you are adding water ( if using salt,refer notes section),please add water till half of the size of vessel. If u add more water , the extra water may go into the vessel & the cake mixture will become watery.
- Do not put the weight valve , keep the flame high and allow the water boil till the full steam comes. Once the full pressure is reached , simmer the flame completely and allow it to cook for 20 minutes exactly without putting weight valve.During this time , steam will be coming out in low pressure. After 20 minutes switch off the flame & give a standing time till all the steam is released completely by itself. Please do not open till that time. It takes maximum of 20 minutes for all the steam to go by itself.
- Remove the vessel from the cooker and insert a knife or spoon. If it comes out clean ,your cake is done. Cut into pieces & enjoy !!
Enjoy !
Note : You can bake the cake in a cooker by adding salt.For that,you should spread powdered salt in the base of cooker for 2 inches.Use 1/2 kg of salt.Then place the cooker plate and close the cooker by removing the gasket and weight valve.First preheat the cooker in high flame for 5 minutes.Then place the baking pan with cake mixture and cook in low flame for 20-30 minutes.Check with the back of spoon and remove after the steam is released. |
