Today i have prepared a simple cake recipe for you all.
Dont worry if you have no Oven at home.
I am going to make a cake in a pressure cooker.
So lets start with the Ingredients.
We need All purpose flour (maida)
Sugar powder
Cocao powder
Butter
Dry fruits of your choice (cashew, almond, walnut etc)
milk
baking powder
At first put the butter in a big bowl.
Add sugar powder to it
Now whisk it with the help of a whisker
After whisking it for 2-3 minutes, we need to add some milk.
Whisk well after adding milk to it
Now add half of the cocoa powder and mix it well
After mixing it, add the rest cocoa power as well
If you don't have cocoa powder, you can just use regualr chocolate powder.
If you don't have chocolate powder as well, you can make white sponge cake out of it
To make white sponge cake, just use the same process without cocoa or chocolate powder
After mixing all the chocolate well, place a strainer above the bowl.
Put the flour and baking powder in the strainer
So, I am adding baking powder as well
Now, strain the flour and baking powder in the bowl
Mix all the ingredients as far as possible
Add milk now and mix it very well till we get smooth paste
After we get such a smooth paste, we should add dry fruits.
Now add some milk to it and combine everything well.
After getting this kind of texture, the batter is ready for the Chocolate Cake
I have got a small baking pan which I already greased with the butter
If you don't have this kind of baking pan, you can also use simple steel utensils to bake the cake.
Now, pour the batter into the baking pan
After pouring the batter, i am putting some dry fruits on top of it.
Now turn on the heat on and take a pressure cooker
When the cooker starts to heat up, we add salt to it.
Now we need this kind of steel ring. If you don't have it at your home, just use any kind of steel utensils
Use of this ring is to protect our cake from the direct heat from bottom.
Important: Please don't use the whistle in the pressure cooker.
I have this kind of pressure cooker and I have also taken out the whistle.
If you have this kind of pressure cooker, don't forget to remove the whistle while baking the cake
In order to bake the cake, put it slowly into the cooker.
Now we need to close the lid from the pressure cooker
Bake it for 30 minutes in the lowest heat.
After 30 minutes, I am opening the lid
Wow ! our chocolate cake looks really beautiful.
Now we use toothpick method to check if the cake is baked properly.
If there is nothing sticking to our toothpick, our cake is ready
If somthing sticks to it, let it bake again for some minutes.
Cake is very hot, caution while taking the cake out.
After 20 minutes, it is still lukewarm
If you have used steel utensils to bake the cake, use a knife to cut alongside the circle.
I am unlocking this cake pan.
To make our chocolate cake more beautiful, i am going to sprinkle some powder sugar on top of it
I am going to show you by cutting this cake. Look,  how spongy the cake is :-)
So, make sure to make this cake at your home and enjoy with you friends and family.
I made this chocolate cake  espically for beginners
I will surely bring more cake recipes in the future, till then stay HEALTHY and HAPPY :-)
