PRESSURE COOKER EGGLESS SPONGE CAKE

PRESSURE COOKER EGGLESS SPONGE CAKE RECIPE
 Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 1 hour Makes one 8" cake

Ingredients:
1 cup + 2 tbsp of plain flour or maida
1/2 cup of powdered sugar (measure after powdering)
1 cup of milk powder 1 cup of milk
3/4 cup of unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tsp of vanilla essence
1/2 tsp of salt
1/2 cup of tutti frutti (or any chopped nuts), optional

How to Make Eggless Vanilla Tutti Frutti Cake:

1. Sift the flour and salt together in a bowl. Or if you are lazy like me, use a fork and combine well. Eggless Vanilla Cake-Pressure Cooker Cake
2. In another bowl, Cream the butter, powdered sugar, and milk powder together. Actually, you can start with just the butter and sugar and then add the milk powder for easier creaming (use a whisk). Eggless Vanilla Cake-Pressure Cooker Cake
3. Add milk and vanilla to the creamed mixture and mix until well combined. The mixture may look curdled, that's ok. Eggless Vanilla Cake-Pressure Cooker Cake
4. Add the flour mixture in 2 additions to the above and keep whisking... Eggless Vanilla Cake-Pressure Cooker Cake ... until no traces of flour remain. Eggless Vanilla Cake-Pressure Cooker Cake
5. FInally, add the tutti frutti and fold in gently. Eggless Vanilla Cake-Pressure Cooker Cake
6. Pour into a greased 8" cake pan and lightly tap on the kitchen counter to remove any air bubbles. Eggless Vanilla Cake-Pressure Cooker Cake
7. Following instructions here on how to bake cake in pressure cooker, bake the cake for about an hour. You can check after 45 mins to see if it's done. Mine took about an hour to be done. Eggless Vanilla Cake-Pressure Cooker Cake
8. The top looked like it had burned a bit and the sided had shrunk in a bit. I cooled the cake a bit and inverted it to a plate and it was perfectly cooked, not overdone at all. You can test with a toothpick or skewer to make sure the cake is cooked through. Eggless Vanilla Cake-Pressure Cooker Cake Cool completely, slice, and serve!

Notes: If you want to bake the cake in an oven and not make it in a pressure cooker, pre-heat oven to 180C/350F and bake for 30-35 mins until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the centre If you want a chocolate sponge cake, add 2-3 tbsp cocoa powder to the flour when you sift it If you don't want an eggless sponge cake, add 3 eggs instead of the milk powder + milk Since I was almost out of plain flour (maida), I used half cup maida and half cup atta in this cake which could be why it's a bit denser than normal.
