This is another version of the chocolate cake which is very rich in flavor, texture, taste and what not? So this is called the gourmet version! But again this is an 'eggless cake - made in cooker' recipe.
Preparation time: 20 mins
Cooking time : 60 mins
Quantity : 8-10 servings
Ingredients:
Walnuts - 1/2 cup chopped
Raisins - 1/2 cup
Unsalted butter - 1 tbsp
Maida - 1 tbsp
Dry Ingredients:
Atta/Whole wheat flour - 2.5 cups
Powdered Sugar - 2.5-3 cups
Baking soda - 2 tbsps
Baking powder - 3/4 tbsp
Unsweetened cocoa powder - 1.5 cups
Salt - 1.5 tbsp
Wet Ingredients:
Dark Chocolate - 85 gms
Ripe banana : 3/4 cup mashed
Beaten curd/yogurt - 1.5 cups
Odourless cooking oil - 1 cup (or) Unsalted butter - 1 cup
Hot brewed coffee (decoction) - 1.5 cups (made from around 5-6 tbsps of filter coffee powder)
Vanilla essence - 1 tbsp
Recipe:
1. Combine all the items under dry ingredients and sieve them together for two times in one large bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, chop the dark chocolate into pieces and add the hot coffee decoction to it. Mix well till it melts and forms a thick mixture.
3. To this, add mashed banana, curd, oil, vanilla essence and mix well.
4. Add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients mix, add chopped walnuts and raisins and mix well. Now the cake mix is ready.
5. Take an aluminium vessel, apply butter inside and powder it with maida.
6. Pour the cake mix into it.
7. Place a tawa on medium flame and place the pressure cooker on top of it. Please make sure the cooker is without water, whistle and washer. Close the lid of the cooker and let it heat for atleast 10 mins.
8. Now place the aluminium vessel with cake mix inside the cooker and close the cooker lid.
9. Let the cake bake for about 45-60 mins on medium flame. But please keep checking once in every 20 mins to see if the cake is done. To check if the cake is baked, place a knife inside the cake and pull it out and it should come out without any moist cake mix on it.
Note:
1. The cooker method I have given is the same one that I followed at home. If you have an alternate or better way of preparing the cake in cooker, please feel free.
2. Let the tawa that is placed under the cooker be an unused/old one as you cannot use it again for making things like dosa, only phulkas can be made on such tawas later on.
3. The substitute for tawa is using sand inside the cooker, but I have not yet used it personally.
