It's Oreo Time

Well who requires an introduction to an Oreo biscuit....  After all  it's the "World's favorite biscuit"!!! Yeah you can say so 'cause as far i've seen its been liked by both the old ones & the young ones equally. But what makes me think is why is this biscuit so special to everyone??? Is it 'cause of the chocolatey part or the creamy licky vanilla part which gives it a wonderful taste and a magical aroma, which is irresistible!!

Due to its vast popularity lots & lots of recipes are being invented by chefs and by people all around the world. From complex recipes to 3 minute recipes there are number & number of dishes that we can try out using this biscuit as the core ingredient.

This past month it was my birthday....mostly people prefer buying their birthday cake from a bakery...but i decided to bake my own birthday cake not because i know cooking and all that...... but the feeling that you get by baking a cake all by yourself and that too your birthday cake is something special!! But the question in front of me was what kinda cake should i make?? I went through many recipes on the internet ....went through many magazines....And again the problem was since i sold the microwave oven so i had to look out for cake recipes that were pressure cooker/cooking pan friendly...finally after lots of internet research i came across a simple yet tasty pressure cooker cake recipe... And as you know i always try to put my own twists to whatever i  make...sometimes it flops but sometimes it's a success!!!

That's why i decided to share the recipe with you guys...Also i'm sharing a Brownie Recipe  which was given to me by one of my good friend!![so if that persons reads it i would like to thank you that person once again for sharing that link with me]...that's enough with all the blah blah blah...let me head to business now!!

Eggless Vanilla Cake with Vanilla icing & Oreo Crustings


 Ingredients
 
  • Maida - 1 and 1/2 cups 
  • Granulated Sugar - 3/4 cup 
  • Baking soda - 1/2 tsp
  • Baking powder - 1 and 1/4 tsp
  • Cooking oil - 1/2 cup 
  • Vanilla essence - 1 and 1/2 tsp

Method
 
1. Mix sugar and oil together and stir them pretty hard till the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
2. Now prepare a mixture of "all purpose flour" (maida) and baking powder and sieve it to avoid any lump.
3. Now gradually add this maida mixture, to the batter prepared by mixing sugar and oil mixture.
Note: As you stir the mixture, it will become dense. Add some milk in small amount to make it smooth. Keep on repeating the process of adding maida and then milk as required, till batter is well blended (It should look fluffy/ soft) and you find air bubble in the batter
4. Add Vanilla essence to the batter and again blend thoroughly.
 5. Grease the baking tin (or cake tin) with oil and dust it by sprinkling maida over greased surface evenly.
Note: Baking Tin should be made of Aluminium
7. Heat the presure cooker on high heat for 2 minutes.
 8. Now put the cake tin containing the cake batter, inside on pressure cooker dish.( Do not put water inside the pressure cooker)
9. Close the pressure cooker lid and do not put the whistle on the lid.Lower the flame from high to low after 2 minutes.
10. Let it cook for 40 minutes, then switch off the heat. Do not open the lid immediately.
 11. After 10 minutes open the lid to check whether the cake is done. Put a skewer/knife inside the cake.
12. If the mixture does not stick on it, it means cake is done.
13. Now top it with the icing sugar and the oreo crustings.....that's it you're cake is ready!!!
