You can try it but its not gonna change anything. A perforated plate will be better but the normal steel plate is okay too, u need to separate the cake pan from touching the cooker bottom. So any plate would be fine...

Butter paper or parchment paper will help the cake come out easily without sticking to the pan.

Cakes using baking soda should be baked immediately, the baking soda will start reacting fast and if not baked immediately cakes will fall flat. Another problem is the amount of butter, it must have been too much. So next time when you try this cake try skipping baking soda, baking powder will be enough here. Also reduce the amount of butter next time, may be to 75 grams. <br /><br />Now in the procedure make some small corrections, use butter at room temperature, do not melt it, then beat butter well until it turns light, now add sugar and beat really well until it is light. This will incorporate air into the butter and will make the cake light and fluffy. And also while adding maida/flour, just fold in with a ladle or spoon (do not beat or stir vigorously), then add milk slowly and stir. Never beat after adding maida/flour it may also cause the cake to become dense. Try making the cake next time with these points in mind.<br /><br />Try to use a slower flame while baking the cake in the cooker and using a separator plate will help avoid the cake getting burnt. Hope your cake turns our spongy and fluffy next time!! :)<br /><br />All the best<br />Divya PramilDivya Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07421160167445516566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615353642326436394.post-2467907700772083012013-08-13T20:45:54.148+05:302013-08-13T20:45:54.148+05:30Hi Divya,
I tried baking eggless cake in pressure...Hi Divya,<br /><br />I tried baking eggless cake in pressure cooker. Below are the items i used.<br /><br />All purpose flour -- 250gms<br />Baking Soda -- 1/2 teaspoon <br />Baking powder -- 1 teaspoon <br /><br /><br />Condensed milk -- 200ml <br />Milk -- 200ml <br />Butter (heated) -- 100gms <br />sugar (powdered) -- 100gms<br /><br /><br />First of all i sieved together the APF and baking soda,powder together for 3 times so that they mix well and kept aside. Then i mixed powdered sugar and ghee together so that it is mixed well. Then slowly added the condensed milk and stired well in one direction.Slowly i added the flour to the liquid and beat in one direction till no lumps are formed.Then i added the milk to it and mixed well.<br /><br />I spread the powdered salt in the cooker bottom.<br />I pre-heated my cooker for 5 mins. Since my stove flame is high even in minimum i pre- heated only for 5 mins.I greased the cake baking pan well with ghee and flour.Then i added the batter to the cake pan and kept in the cooker. Closed the cooker without gasket and whistel. I baked for about 30 mins and opened and pierced the knife to check if it comes out clear. Knief came out clean hence i switched off the stove and removed the cake after 10mins only.<br /><br />Initially the cake seemed to be fluffy. But after switiching off the stove and opening after 10 mins it was little falt.After cooling down i transferred the cake in flat tray. I tried to cut the cake but it was falt and was buttery. The bottom of the cake was also dark brown in color. I thought my cake was over baked?<br /><br />Cake tasted good but the texture was not fluffy but it was dense and ghee could be felt in fingers too.<br /><br />May be the call fell. can you please suggest what could have been the mistake or what do i have to modify to get good spongy cake?<br /><br />Thank u Divya in advance.<br /> Sowndarya Lakshmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05990436996269679506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615353642326436394.post-32516877226991634172013-08-03T19:49:33.447+05:302013-08-03T19:49:33.447+05:30Hi, glad it came out well :) Cheers!!
