Easy Cake Recipe in Pressure Cooker, Eggless Cake on Gas Stove

May 18, 2015 by Gopi Patel 26 Comments

Cake recipe in pressure cooker – A simple delicious basic eggless chocolate cake recipe in pressure cooker.

I am sharing my first cake recipe on this website today. I have been trying my hands on baking for a while now. Mostly I am making cakes and muffins in small quantities. The results were quite astonishing. Given the fact that very few homes in India have an oven at home, I have decided to make well known baking recipes that asks for oven and tweak them a bit so that they can be made on stove top or pressure cooker.

Here is a simple eggless cake recipe in a pressure cooker. You will need a bigger size of pressure cooker for this cake recipe. I have spread around 1-2 inch thick layer of gravel inside pressure cooker and pre-heat it for 5-7 minutes before baking the cake.

Do not worry if it does not work in first try. Baking is more a science and hence you must follow each and every steps carefully. Just follow these easy steps of making eggless chocolate cake at home and I am sure it will come out well.

Few tips to make perfect cake in pressure cooker

  1. Always use the fresh baking powder and baking soda.
  2. Use all the ingredients at room temperature for good result.
  3. Let the cake cook down completely for about 2 hrs and then unmold it.
  4. To check if cake is done or not, use the tooth pick or skewer or cake tester to check the cake.
  5. Grease the cake tin well so that the cake will not stick to the tin.
  6. Always pre heat the cooker before placing the cake.
  7. While reducing the flame gradually reduce the flame.

Some basic ingredients needed to make the cake are plain flour or maida, cornflour, milkmaid or condensed milk, soda water, powdered sugar, milk, oil, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, drinking chocolate powder  and  vanilla essence. The exact quantities of each of these ingredients are shown in the recipe box below.
