Nutritional Value
The cake has all purpose flour and oil in it so it's out of the health checklist but in for the cheat meals. since it's a small and light cake it gives six normal pieces of cake, around 200 calories each.

*calories are an estimation of my cooking.
Servings- 6 pieces(pastry size)
Ingredients
Dry
All-purpose flour (Maida) - 1 cups
Cocoa Powder- 1/4 cup
Baking Powder- 1 teaspoon
Baking Soda- 1/4 teaspoon
Salt- 1/4 teaspoon
Wet
Whole milk- 3/4 cup
Sugar- 1/2 cup
lemon juice- 2 tablespoons
Clarified butter/ Butter/ Vegetable oil- 1/2 cup
Vanilla- 1/4 teaspoon
Method
To heat the pressure cooker
Take around 2 cups of regular table salt and spread it at the bottom of the pressure cooker, now add a stand over it and keep the pressure cooker over the medium flame for 15 minutes. It works same as preheating the oven.
The batter
First, prepare sour milk by adding milk and lemon juice together and keeping it aside for 10 minutes.
Add all the dry ingredients and sieve it in a bowl.
Add oil, sugar and vanilla to sour milk and mix all of them.
Now pour the dry mix into the wet mix slowly and make a lump-free batter.
Grease a 7-inch cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
Pour the batter on the pan and tap it few times to release air bubbles
Now very important step is to take off the side rubber and whistle off from the cooker lid. Then set the pan over the stand inside the pressure cooker and close the lid.
Cook on medium-low flame for 20 to 25 minutes.
After 20 minutes just open the lid and check the cake with old toothpick way, nothing will happen if you open the cooker in a mid way. If the toothpick comes out with batter then close again and let it cook for another 3 to 4 minutes and if it comes clean the cake is ready.
Take the cake tin out from the cooker and scrap its side flip it over a cooling rack and let it cool completely, since its a small cake it will take not more than half an hour.
To add frosting cut the cake in between and first soak it with some sugar syrup and then add frosting on the layers.
A simple chocolate glaze or just some chocolate shaving will make it equally delicious.
Enjoy!
