Mix Dry-fruit Semolina Cake(Made in Pressure cooker)

Sharing is caring!

Cake in a cooker (pressure).. Sounds interesting isn't it ? and poetical too.. :-). We have posted a lot of healthy cake recipes on our blog and have been asked by numerous people the proper way to make the same recipe in a pressure cooker. I remember that my mom used to make amazing cakes in pressure cooker (the conventional ovens were way too expensive then) when we were kids. As the number of requests were increasing, my interest to know the exact procedure and content also increased.

When I could not resist the temptation anymore, I called up my mom and asked her to share her secret of making fluffy, moist and soft cakes every time.  As always she guided me through the steps and here I present to you her tricks. I must say it was such a easy peasy no fuss cake.
This Semolina cake is as easy as it can get. Its egg-less and yet so fluffy, nice, soft and moist. Perfect is the word!!
No egg & No Butter..... however what comes out is a moist cake with lovely fresh fragrance of cardamom & saffron.
