NOTES.
- Do not use the rubber gasket and weight valve while cooking.
- Do not add water inside the cooker,as we are trying to create an oven like environment and not steaming the cake.( You can find the recipe for steamed chocolate cake here)
- Do not use your pressure cooker to bake on a regular basis,as it can decrease the strength of the metal .

April 30, 2014 at 8:08 pmThank you for the feedback !!!
Was the baking soda and baking powder fresh?The cake may turn out to be dense if the raising agents are not active. …
and also be careful not to overmix the batter.
There is a link for a video for the same above (see recipe source)…do check it out

November 11, 2014 at 3:53 pmHi Gayathri,
Here condensed milk acts as the egg substitute ,so i don't think you can substitute it with milk and sugar…
