Combine the condensed milk, melted butter, vanilla essence in another deep bowl and mix well with a spatula. Combine both the mixture to form a uniform mixture.

How to prepare the pressure cooker to make eggless chocolate pressure cooker cake. 1. Note that we have not used in water in the pressure cooker and only salt is used. 2. We have taken 1 cup of salt in the pressure cooker. The we place a steel ring on it in the centre. 3. On top of the steel ring place a perforated plate. 4. Our pressure cooker is ready and cover it with a lid and ensure the ring is on it. 5. Don’t use the whistle and allow the cooker to heat for 2 to 3 minutes. 6. Open the lid and your cooker is ready to make eggless chocolate cake recipe in pressure cooker.
Notes for pressure cooker cake. 1. Follow the exact procedure of adding salt to the pressure cooker, placing a steel ring stand and then a perforated plate over it. Pressure cook without whistle and ring for 5 minutes and then place the cake tin and pressure cook. 2. Dust the cake tin with plain flour as after the cake is cooked it’s very easy to de mould it. It’s important to remove the excess flour from the cake tin. Invert the tin and tap it twice so that the excess flour comes out. 3. We have used condensed milk in large quantities as this is the only sweetness to the cake. 4. When mixing the batter, do it quickly as the baking powder and baking soda is already added. 5. The water added to the batter depends on the quality of maida you use. 6. The batter should be off dropping consistency. 5. Spread the batter evenly in the cake tin. Use a spatula to tap the cake tin. Tapping also removes the excess air inside the tin.

I''m Confused. How can you steam something without adding any water to the cooker base???

Tarla Dalal
June 16, 2022, 10:51 a.m.
Thanks Anita Raval, for your feedback, we have not added water, we have used 1 cup of salt. As if water added it will release moisture, which will not allow the cake to get brown. We also have a video on this, here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CISCkYNAzhA Let us know your feedback.. how it turned out.. Happy Cooking!!

I was always looking for a chocolate sponge cake recipe which can be made in a pressure cooker. As i dont have an oven at my place, i was unable to follow most of the recipes. I tried this recipe in my kitchen and it came out excellent. The colour, texture and taste everything is just up to the mark. It is spongy and delicious. A wonderful recipe..

Hi, Make sure the flame is not too high while cooking.. this will make the cake crispy.. And after it is baked.. let it cool down completely then.. cut into pieces..

Tarla Dalal
May 6, 2020, 12:20 p.m.
Dear Rashmi, There are very few chances of the cake turning sour as there is no curd also used. Kindly refer to the video for ease of understanding. https://www.tarladalal.com/eggless-chocolate-cake-(pressure-cooker)-video-by-tarla-dalal-990v

Tarla Dalal
April 13, 2020, 12:06 a.m.
The purpose of perforated plate is to cook the cake evenly. SO katori is not a replacement to a perforated plate.
