Pressure Cooker Or Steamed Chocolate Cake Recipes

STEAMED CHOCOLATE CAKE (COOKER CAKE)

Steps:

• If you have a steamer or a cooker, use that. Invert a pan with slightly elevated sides and flat bottom on the pan. Fill it with water upto 3/4th of the inverted pan
• If not, you can create a steaming effect. (check out the points below to find out how)
• Grease & line a cake pan.
• To yogurt (curd), add sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt & whisk extremely well for 1 minute until smooth
• Set aside for 5 minutes. You'll find lots of air bubbles on the yogurt.
• Add oil, vanilla extract & Mix well.
• Sift in the flour, cocoa powder. Mix well enough to incorporate flour mixture into wet mix.
• Pour into prepared cake tin.
• Place cake tin on the steamer.
• Close the baking tin with a lid.
• Close the cooker / steamer lid.
• Let it cook for 25-30 minutes or more depending upon amount of batter. Best way to tell if cake is cooked is to insert a toothpick / dry spaghetti in the center. If it comes out clean without leaving wet batter, it is done.
• Let it sit in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
• De-mold the cake and let it cool completely before slicing.
• You can decorate with any topping you like or eat it as is. For a simple topping, melt chocolate & drizzle on top
• Take a very large pan with high sides.
• Invert a round tin / vessel with flat round bottom (like a baking tin) on the pan.
• Fill water in the pan upto 3/4th of the inverted round tin. Bring it to a boil
• Then you can place your pan with cake batter ON the round tin's base.
• Close the pan with cake batter with a lid. The water should NOT come in contact with the batter
• Close the large pan with a larger lid - thus creating a steaming effect.
