Its been pretty long time i got shifted here... I haven't got a oven for baking.... But I dont have the feel bad thing in me bcoz I got a chance to try out the Cooker Cake... I took the recipe from Ria but the icing part I did from Divya's Blog.
Mind Me it was awesome.... :)
We need :
Cooking Oil -3 tbsp, Flour-50g, Sugar-50g, Baking Soda -1tsp,Vanilla Essence- 1 tsp, milk - 1 cup
Method:
Beat oil and sugar till it melts.
Then add milk, flour ,vanilla essence and beat till it forms a real thick batter
Pour into a prepared round tin and bake in an empty pressure cooker {without the weight} for 5 mins on high flame and then reduce the flame to medium high and bake for 20 mins. [You must place a steel ring in the bottom]
Open the lid and check it with skewer to see if the cake is done.
Take the tin out of the cooker and let it cool in tin for atleast 10 mins.
Remove the cake from the tin and let it cool completely on a wire rack..

Hershey’s Cocoa – 1/3 cup
Powdered sugar – 1.5 cups

Sushma i m far better thn tht day...
@ simply food... No as we r not closing it with the weight and no ring it will not burn.....but i case u r baking it nd u have a doubt tht it will burn u can just add 1/2 cup of water for safety

I have a very silly doubt. But anyways let me ask you. Its better to clear it then keep pondering over it. Empty cooker???!!! does that mean we don't need to add water at the bottom????? I know its weird to ask. Anyways let me.. I am still an amateur cook.
@Nithya... yeh empty cooker means without water.... nd ring means the gasket... nd even m an amateur cook dont worry we can always clear our doubt nd its nothing silly... Thank u for asking :)
I think I can go on eating it forever!!
Beautiful peace of cake!!!
Thanks for sharing. Bookmarked it. Going to try it soon, I loved the icing and caramelize!!
