Multiflavoured cake in cooker

You can try this recipe with many flavours .For that you have to double the quantity of the ingredients in the above recipe of zebra cake and divide the batter innto 4 sections. Add 1 tsp of each of the flavours with few drops of food colours.

I have tried with 4 flavors

Vanilla
Pineapple with yellow colour
Straw berry with red colour
And chocolate powder.

You can try with any flavors and colours.

BAKING IN COOKER – Cooker cake

Preheat the cooker for 5 mins on high flame.
Then place a stand in the centre without touching the sides of the cooker with a help of tongs.
Place the tin with batter on the stand.
Remove the gasket and whistle from the lid of the cooker.
Cover the cooker and bake for 20-30 mins on very low flame.
It took me 20 mins.
So after 20 mins do the tooth prick test.
Not only cooker you can also use a thick pan or kadai with a lid . Same procedure like that of cooker.
