Eggless Sponge Cake with Kadai (without Oven and Pressure Cooker)

Many people want to prepare cake recipes, but they don’t have oven. There are many alternate recipes which use pressure cooker instead of oven. However few don’t want to use pressure cooker because of fear that their pressure cooker might damage. I tried using normal thick bottom kadai itself for baking.  It came out very well and my family liked the outcome very much. I will also post the pressure cooker version soon.

6. Add milk to the above batter and mix them well. Don’t over mix them, because the milk turns into curdle. But don’t worry if it curdles.

7. Add sieved flour (from 1) little by little and make a soft batter. When the batter looks like a urad dal batter then it is in the right consistency. The cake batter is ready.

9. Pour the cake batter and tap them gently to level the batter.

Using the Pan Version:

10. Meanwhile, add 2 cups of table salt in a thick kadai/pan and close the lid of the pan.  Heat the pan for 5 mins in high flame. This is preheating step. Don’t use non stick pans.

11. Keep the tray on the salt and close the lid of the pan. Keep the flame at very low.  (please refer the video)

12. Allow to bake for 35-45 mins or till an inserted tooth pick comes out clean.

14. Bake the cake for 180 degree Celsius for 35-45 mins or till an inserted tooth pick comes out clean.
