Eggless Vanilla Cake with Chocolate Icing n Praline Filed under ( Cakes and Cookies, Tried and tasted )

Its been pretty long time i got shifted here... I haven't got a oven for baking.... But I dont have the feel bad thing in me bcoz I got a chance to try out the Cooker Cake... I took the recipe from Ria but the icing part I did from Divya's Blog.

Mind Me it was awesome.... :)

We need :

Cooking Oil -3 tbsp, Flour-50g, Sugar-50g, Baking Soda -1tsp,Vanilla Essence- 1 tsp, milk - 1 cup

Method:

Beat oil and sugar till it melts.

Then add milk,  flour ,vanilla essence and beat till it forms a real thick batter

Pour into a prepared round tin and bake in an empty pressure cooker {without the weight and the ringi.e the rubber gasket} for 5 mins on high flame and then reduce the flame to medium high and bake for 20 mins. [You must place a steel ring in the bottom]

Open the lid and check it with skewer to see if the cake is done.

Take the tin out of the cooker and let it cool in tin for atleast 10 mins.

Remove the cake from the tin and let it cool completely on a wire rack..
