Hey, everybody! Welcome back to Bake with Shivesh.
In today's video, we are going to try
something very interesting.
While cleaning the house, we found
this circular, electric oven.
And this belongs to my mom
from when she used to bake.
Apparently, it's 32 years old.
And I've been told that it still works.
So, even after 32 years,
this oven is still functional.
I got too excited because
I have never seen an oven like this in my life.
And I honestly had no idea
that circular ovens like these exist or used to exist.
I uploaded its picture on my Instagram stories
and a lot of you told me
that it was and is still used in your home.
So, I thought why not in today's video,
we try making a cake in this oven.
Let's see how it turns out.
Or if at all we are able to bake a cake in this or not.
So, join me in this kitchen adventure
of baking a cake in this super ancient oven.
Let's get started!
Before we start baking, 
we will do an unboxing of this oven
for clueless people like me.
Let's see what this oven is like
and how exactly does it work.
So, firstly, we have a knob right here
for controlling the temperature.
We will have to figure it out a bit.
Then this is the electric point.
The cable is inside the oven.
So, let's see.
Honestly, if someone shows this to me
and I have to guess what this is
I would say that this is a momos steamer
because I think it looks like that.
Inside this, there is a baking tray
which has an ancient feel to it.
It's too big so I don't think I will use this today.
I'll probably use a smaller pan
because I'm experimenting for the first time
so I think using this would be a bigger commitment.
Then there is this rack inside.
So, we will use this rack to place it beneath the pan.
And then there is this wire
which we will attach right here.
This will go here.
And we will plug this in.
Sorted.
And this is the bottom-most part.
So, let's figure it out.
Let's do this.
After connecting and setting up the oven,
I'll place the rack inside and preheat it for about 15 min.
I have set the temperature of the oven to 180° C.
First, I'm taking 2 cups of all-purpose flour,
that is maida, into a bowl.
And 2 tsp baking powder.
I'll mix both these ingredients together
and then set it aside.
Meanwhile, I will take 1 cup of sugar in another bowl.
I'm using caster sugar here
and 3/4 cups of vegetable oil.
Using my electric mixer,
I'll beat the sugar and the oil at high speed
until my mixture looks light and pale.
This looks good. Now, into this, we'll add 4 eggs.
One egg at a time.
We will mix it well after adding each egg.
When all the 4 eggs are mixed in properly,
we will add 1 tsp of vanilla extract
and mix well.
When vanilla is nicely incorporated,
we will add half of our maida
and baking powder mixture
which we had set aside earlier.
Now, I'll just gently fold the dry ingredients in
without over mixing my batter.
Into this, we'll add 1/2 cup of milk
and we'll mix it in as well.
And now, in goes our rest of the dry ingredients.
Alright, so my batter is ready.
Into this, I'm adding 1/2 cup of chopped nuts.
I'm using walnuts and almonds.
Now, we'll transfer the batter in an 8-inch circular pan.
I have already greased it
and I have also lined it with parchment paper.
Now, let's place the pan in our preheated oven
which gets too hot so, please be careful.
We'll put the lid back on
and bake this for about 40-45 min.
And now, it's the moment of truth.
The cake looks beautiful, it's brown so nicely on top.
It's also super soft and smells delicious.
I can't wait to dig in!
And by the way, if you don't have this circular oven,
you could just use your regular oven to make this recipe
and it'll turn out equally well.
Guys the cake smells and looks soo good.
Honestly, I did not have
much expectation from this oven
because it is too old.
I mean 32 years old technology is a lot.
But the cake is looking perfect!
and I can't wait to cut into it, dig in,
and once I cut it, I'll obviously show you
what the texture looks like.
I am blown away!
Look at this.
This cake is like a light cloud.
Super fluffy and super delicious.
I think people who are watching this,
many of them will have this oven at home
or maybe it'll be a part of their childhood
or probably their moms or grandmoms
used to use this kind of oven.
So, if you have any nostalgic
childhood memory or a story
attached to this oven,
please let me know in the comments below.
I'd love to hear your stories.
And if your moms or grandmoms
used to use a similar oven,
please show this video to them also
and don't forget to try out this recipe.
You can also make this cake in any oven,
or a convection microwave, regular OTG,
and even ancient ovens like this.
Whichever oven you're using,
this recipe will work for you.
It's absolutely foolproof.
