mixing and making cake without oven

1. With a wired whisk mix very well. However do not over do the mixing.
2. Pour into the greased baking tin. gently shake the pan.
3. Place a rack or stand on the salt layer. place the cake pan on the stand.
4. Cover with a lid. The rubber gasket and the whistle should be removed.
5. Bake cake for 40 to 45 minutes on a low flame. If baking in an oven, then bake in a preheated oven at 350
degrees f (approx 177 degrees c) for 35 to 40 minutes.
6. Check with a tooth pick to see if the cake is done or not. The tooth pick should come out clean.
7. Remove the cake pan carefully from the pressure cooker. While the cake is still hot poke a lot of holes in
it using a fork or a toothpick or a wooden skewer. Make a lot of holes as this is where the icing seeps into
and they cannot be seen once the icing has been cooled.

to make the chocolate icing for cake

1. In a saucepan, take butter, vanilla extract,brown sugar, milk and cocoa powder.
2. Keep the pan on a low flame and with a wired whisk stir very well. The sugar should melt and the cocoa
powder should dissolve. Keep on stirring continuously to get an even mixture.
3. Bring this mixture to a boil.
4. Once this icing mixture comes to a boil, then immediately pour it all over the cake. You don't need to
spread it as the icing seeps down inside the cake.
5. This cake tastes good warm also, but you cannot slice them and you can just have them directly from the
pan. 
6. You can also cool the cake in the fridge and then have it. Cover the pan with a lid or foil when keeping in
the fridge.
7. Slice and then serve the cake as a dessert.

Notes
You can use whole wheat flour (atta) also to prepare this cake. If using atta, then sieve the flour once or
twice with salt first.
Then use ⅔ to ¾ cup water in the second mixture. The amount of water to be added depends on the
quality of whole wheat flour. So you can keep some hot water handy, in case the batter becomes too
thick.
