How To Make Eggless Chocolate Cake Without Oven?

You think of baking and oven comes to your mind. It is believed that baking can't be done without an oven. Do you also believe the same? 

Remember there was a time when gas tandoors were very popular and people used to bake cakes and cookies in it beautifully? Now, you may say that you don't have a gas tandoor either. Right? Nor do I have it. But we can recreate that magic once again. But we will create that magic in our pressure cooker or even a kadhai.

 Using this same recipe, in the pic below, three muffins on the left side are baked in oven whereas the centre one and the three on the right side are baked on the gas stove.   I have already shared the oven method in my earlier post and you can check that by clicking here.

 

Chocolate Cake Recipe For Beginners

• I am sharing this recipe especially for beginners and have therefore used very little flour, just 1/2 cup here.
• The recipe uses very few ingredients which are usually there in every kitchen.
• Also, I have used 3 types of moulds here just to convince you that these can be baked in anything, If you have proper moulds with you then fine otherwise go ahead with steel bowl (katori) in your kitchen or ordinary paper cups. 

 

How To Bake Chocolate Cake In Cooker/Kadhai

• Remove Gasket:  While using a pressure cooker for baking, always remove its gasket (the rubber ring in the lid).  To create an oven-like environment, we use the whistle so that steam does not escape, but this whistle doesn’t blow.  So basically, it remains just like a pan with a lid. You can also use either a wok (kadhai)  or Dhokla maker or any big pan with a lid or a plate that covers the wok fully.
• If baking in a wok (kadhai), ensure that it is a heavy-bottomed one.
• Salt: Then, we lay an even bed of salt in the pressure cooker/wok. We use salt for 2 reasons:(1)Salt maintains the temperature inside the pan and allows for even distribution of heat. (2) Secondly, without salt/sand, there are chances of spoiling the utensil so it is better to lay salt. You can use the same salt multiple times. Like this same salt, I am using it for the nth time.
• Keep a stand on salt:  I always keep a stand on the bed of sand/salt before placing my baking pan in the cooker/wok. This is done to provide insulation between the direct flame and the baking pan. If put directly in the cooker/wok without stand then the bottom of the cake will get baked quickly leaving the upper portion undone. So, always keep a stand first. Instead of stand you can also keep any steel bowl or keep your cooker/wok on a griddle.
• The number of muffins: When baking in pressure cooker there is a limitation as to the number of moulds that can be used at a time. So, check first how many muffins can be made at a time. For this, keep the stand, empty muffin moulds/steel bowls/paper cups and close the lid. 
• Preheating: Next is preheating. Yes.. just like preheating an oven, you need to preheat your cooker/wok as well. For this, lay a bed of salt then keep the stand and close the lid of the cooker/wok. Preheat it like this for 10 to 15 minutes on medium flame.
• After placing the muffin moulds in the cooker/wok, close the lid and bake on low flame It will take around 20 to 25  minutes. Do not remove the lid and try to check your cake in the first 10 minutes of baking.
• If possible, use an old cooker/wok for baking purposes. If you don’t have then bake in your day to day cooker only but restrict its usage to once or twice in a month. This is because excessive heat weakens the metal. It is better to use an aluminium cooker as aluminium is a good conductor of heat. However, I used my steel cooker only as I rarely bake on a stovetop.
• Standard Temperature: Last but not the least, when you bake on the stovetop then there is only one temperature and that too without any degree Celsius or Fahrenheit. So, do not confuse yourself. The recipe may mention any temperature but you bake it on sim gas only. However, if using an OTG or microwave convection then, of course, follow the temperature mentioned.
• The method remains the same for any other recipe too.

 

Step By Step Instructions 

• In a big bowl,  take all the dry ingredients---- flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, coffee powder and brown sugar and whisk everything with a fork.

• Make a well in the centre by putting all the dry mix towards the wall of the bowl.
• In the well, put wet ingredients---- oil, vanilla extract, water and vinegar.

 

• Mix everything with light hands.
• It should be of flowing consistency. Add a little more water, if required but do not make it very thin.
• Let the batter sit for 10-15 minutes. (see Note 9).
• While the batter is resting, do the following preparations.
• Depending on the size, put 1/2 cup to 1 cup river salt in your pressure cooker.
• Put a stand on the salt. I have used a simple steel bowl to give you an idea. 

 

• Since muffins moulds cant be kept on this bowl, therefore keep a plate on the stand/bowl where muffins moulds can be kept.
• Close the lid by removing its gasket (rubber ring). However, keep the weight (whistle) in its place.

• Preheat it on the medium flame for 10 to 12 minutes.
• Grease the aluminium and steel moulds or use muffin liners. No need to grease the paper cups.
• Pour this batter into muffin liners/paper cups filling each up to 3/4th. I have used a variety of moulds to give you an idea. You can bake whole of this batter in one big steel bowl also.

• Tap each mould 2-3 times to release air bubbles, if any.
• Holding from a tong, keep these moulds in cooker/wok on sand/salt. This is because pressure cooker is really hot at this time and it's not possible to keep with hands.

 

• Close the lid and bake on medium-high flame for 1 min Now reduce the flame to low and continue baking for 20 minutes approx.
• Insert a toothpick and check for doneness.

 

• Cool these on a wire rack. (See Note 12)
• Decorate these with chocolate sauce or gems or silver balls etc.
• Serve with love, milk optional.
• Store in an airtight container, up to 2-3 days at room temperature thereafter in the refrigerator.
• You can even freeze these for up to 3 months.
• You can bake these muffins in the oven, convection microwave or in air fryer too.
