ഓവനും ബീറ്ററും ഒന്നുമില്ലാതെ ഒരു അടിപൊളി കേക്ക് ||Marble Cake in Pressure Cooker

Ingredients:
Maida / All purpose flour – 1½ cup / 187g
Eggs – 2
Baking powder – 1 tsp
Salt – ¼ tsp
Powdered sugar – ½ cup / 110g
Milk – ½ to ¾ cup
Vanilla essence – ½ tsp
Butter – ½ cup / 113g (At room temperature)

For the chocolate batter
Unsweetened cocoa powder – 2½ tbsp
Powdered sugar – 2½ tbsp
Milk – 2 tbsp

Steps:
Mix maida, baking powder and salt in a bowl and set aside.

In another bowl, mix eggs, sugar, ½ cup milk, vanilla essence and butter. Mix well.
Sieve in and mix the maida mixture to egg mixture in batches.
Since my batter is too thick, I am adding 2 more tbsp of milk.
Mix well and set aside the batter.

In another bowl, mix unsweetened cocoa powder, sugar and milk.
Add half of the prepared batter into this mixture and mix well.
The chocolate batter is ready.

Grease a pan (I used a 6-inch pan) with butter/oil.
Pour 2 tbsp of the plain batter at the center of the pan.
Then add 2 tbsp of the chocolate batter on top of it, followed by 2 tbsp of plain batter.
Repeat with 2 tbsp of each batter for the first 4-5 layers and then with 1 tbsp each.
Gently tap the pan to get rid of the air bubbles.

To bake the cake, heat a pressure cooker and add 2 cups of salt. You can reuse this same salt for 2-3 times.
Cover without the whistle and heat up the salt on high heat for 3 minutes.
Place an inverted steel plate as a base on the salt.
Place the baking pan on to the base and cook covered without the whistle on high flame for a minute and then switch to medium flame (medium-low for big burner).
Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Open the cooker and check if the cake is cooked after 35 minutes.
Transfer the pan from cooker and allow it to cool.
Remove the cake from pan once cool.
Enjoy!

Notes:
-This can also be baked in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
– If you are using sweetened cocoa powder, skip sugar in the chocolate batter.
