Lukewarm milk – 1 cup [ May be little more or less to ]
Oil – 1/4 cup

Vanilla essence – 1/2 tsp
Baking powder – 1/4 tsp

PREPARATION

1. Grease a baking tin .Tin should be small .
2. Break the biscuits roughly with hands. Grind these into fine pwdr .
3. Take the biscuit pwdr + powdered sugar + milk pwdr + cocoa pwdr in a mixing bowl  and mix well so that all ingredients blend well .
4. Now add the oil + milk + vanilla essence and mix well so that there are no lumps .
5. Batter will be of thick flowing consistency so adjust milk accordingly .

METHOD

Remove the whistle and rubber ring from the cooker lid.

Keep the cooker with a stand in the centre on medium flame for 5 mins or low flame for 10 mins.

*** Keep the stand in such a way that it doesn’t touch the edges of the cooker .

Add the baking pwdr + baking soda and mix well . Dont over mix or beat the batter .

Pour the batter in the greased tin and tap it gently twice .

Place the tin carefully inside the hot cooker .The tin should not touch the edges of the cooker .There should be gap between the cooker and the tin .

Cover the lid and lower the flame to lowest .

Bake the cake for 35 to 40 mins.

*** it takes more time to bake as the tin is small /narrow .

Check after 30 mins by inserting a tooth pick in the centre . If it comes clean means the cake is baked.

** For me it took 40 mins .

Once done ,off the flame and allow the cake  to cool in the cooker itself for 5 mins .

After 5 mins open the cooker and remove the tin using tongs.

Run a knife around the edges of the tin to loosen the cake .

Once the cake is cooled well ,slice it and serve .

VARIATIONS – You can bake in oven also at 180 *  for 30 to 35 mins in convectional mode .

NOTES TO REMEMBER WHILE BAKING IN COOKER :-

1. No gasket and no whistle.
2. No water at the bottom.
3. Always use a stand to place the tin as a separator between the cooker and tin..
4. The tin should not touch the cooker from any sides that is why we use a stand.
5. Be careful while placing the tin and removing the tin from the cooker as the cooker is very hot, Use tongs.
6. Preheating the cooker is very important.
7. Some use fine sand or salt at the bottom of the cooker upto 1 ½ inch height. I don’t use anything.
8. Avoid non-stick cookers.
9. Keep an old cooker just for this purpose.
10. Use a tin which comfortably fits inside the cooker without touching the edges or sides of the cooker
11. Baking time differs on the size of the tin and the amount of batter. Mostly it takes around 30 to 40 minutes for baking.
12. You can bake any cake recipes or nankhatais /cookies in the cooker in same procedure.
