About this recipe
It needs a basic cake tin made in aluminium and I have greased the pan with butter and floured the pan with maida.
Greasing and flouring helps in extracting the cake from the pan easily. Cake comes out easily from the pan.
When we are using an alluminium tin, these two steps that are greasing and flouring are very necessary to get a perfect cake.
Chocolate cake needs basic ingredients like maida, sugar, eggs, baking powder and vanilla extract and the main ingredient for a chocolate cake is cocoa powder.
Adding few spoons of cocoa powder gives us an amazing color and adding too much of cocoa powder makes the cake bitter. Be careful while adding cocoa powder.
This cake is made using egg and shall be sharing an eggless chocolate cake in a pressure cooker too shortly.
Below are the recipe details on how to make chocolate cake in pressure cooker and without oven.

Notes
2.The only thing to be kept in mind while baking a cake in cooker or a vessel is that the cake pan should not directly touch the cooker bottom.
3.Always keep in mind that there should be some medium between the base of the cooker and cake pan like sand, salt or wire stand and cake pan should be placed over these things to avoid direct contact.
4.Never put on any whistle to the cooker while baking a cake.
