cooker cake recipe | pressure cooker cake | eggless chocolate cake without oven with detailed photo and video recipe. traditionally cake recipes are prepared in conventional baking oven with a controlled dry heat. but buying a oven can be a huge investment and and more importantly indian cooking generally does not involve baking process. hence this recipe is for those who crave for basic cake and would like to explore their options with pressure cooker.
in this recipe post i have prepared a basic chocolate cake recipe in pressure cooker but most of cake recipes can be prepared. you can even prepare cakes like vanilla sponge cake, fruit cake and even plum cake. but there is a slight difference with the outcome of cakes prepared in cooker. cake recipes can be slightly moist and perhaps lighter compared to traditional baked cake recipes. in addition the same recipe can also be prepared in electric rice cooker too. basically it would follow the same steps and procedure. but the challenging job for cooker cake recipe is the container which would fit in these cooker space. you should be able to find a small baking tray which would easily fit in most of the cooker used on day to day basis.
while it is easy to prepare cooker cake recipe, but still some precautionary steps has to be taken while preparing pressure cooker cake. firstly, never use water while preparing or baking cake in cooker. it has to be dry heat without any moisture and hence use salt or sand as a base to cooker. secondly, as shown in this recipe i have used old unused cooker and even i recommend the same. also do not use the cooker gasket and cooker whistle while baking the cake inside it. lastly, maintain a 1 cm gap between the cooker and baking tray while placing inside the cooker. and maintain the temperature in cooker by heating in a low to medium flame.
