Eggless Chocolate cake

-
Simple homemade egg-less chocolate cake in pressure cooker. Here, I have prepared a very basic cake which takes only one and half hour from start to finish and the results are cheek to cheek smile on the loved one faces.


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*-  175 k cal each

All-purpose flour-455 k cal

Milk- 80 k cal

Sugar- 387

Oil- 120

*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!

Indian Courts and the Summer Vacation: A Need for Reform in Modern Times

-
Image
Currently, the legal system of the sub-continent owes much to British colonization regarding its structure, as it is one of the largest and most complex legal systems worldwide. One of its  special  characteristics is that the legal working hours  are structured   in a way  that many of the courts, especially the apex courts, remain shut for almost two months during the summer holidays. A practice that was perhaps well suited to the colonial period has lately been the subject of criticism in light of the current and growing requirement of the courts and the massive unprocessed case file.  Historical Context  The concept of summer vacations can be attributed to the British rule in India since they  too   followed  the practice. The majority of them were British judges  and  they could not bear the heat of the Indian summer. Hence,  a long vacation was introduced  so they could go back to England or other hill stations in India that offered cooler climates.  This practice was followed  i
