Instructions:

Preparation: Prior to the preparation of cake batter, first set your pressure cooker. A clean, dry pressure cooker must be filled with sand at the bottom up to 2-3 inches. Remove the gasket from the cooker top. The whistle or regulator must also be removed.

Step 1: Cooker should be heated on a high flame in order to maintain a temperature as in a preheated oven.

Step 2: In the meantime we will prepare cake batter.
To prepare the batter, sieve all-purpose flour once or twice and keep aside.

Step 3: Beat cream yogurt and sugar well until you see a few air bubbles. Now add baking soda followed by baking powder and mix well.

Step 4: Get your baking tin ready by brushing some cooking oil within the tin.
Add a tsp of all-purpose flour and dust the flour throughout by just shaking the tin.

Step 5: Add vanilla essence to the creamed mixture.

Step 6: Next add oil and give a mild mix add milk . Do not mix vigorously anymore.
Add slowly sieved flour. Now gently fold in the flour into the wet mixture till you get a thick batter.

Step 7: Transfer the batter to the dusted baking tin.

Step 8: Place the baking tin inside the preheated cooker and cook on a low flame for around 40-45 minutes. Keep checking in between to prevent burning. To check if it's done, take a toothpick and pierce it through the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

Step 9: Remove the cake from the baking tin and let it cool another hour on a wire rack.
