Easy 15-Minute Spongy Cake Recipe (How to make spongy cake without oven)

Ingredients

All-purpose flour - 1 cup

Milk - ½ cup (lukewarm)

Sugar - ½ cup (powdered)

Baking powder - 1 teaspoon

Baking soda - ½ teaspoon

Vanilla essence - 4-5 drops

Refined oil or ghee - ¼ cup

Lemon juice or vinegar - 1 teaspoon

Salt - 1 cup (for heating in the cooker)

No-Bake Cake Recipe (15 minutes cake recipe for dad)

• Sift the flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and baking soda into a bowl.
• Add milk, oil, and vanilla essence. Whisk well to avoid lumps.
• Finally, add lemon juice and whisk lightly. The batter should be neither too thin nor too thick.
• Grease a steel container (that can be placed in a cooker). Line the bottom with butter paper or sprinkle with flour.
• Spread 1 cup of salt in the cooker and place a stand on top.
• Heat the cooker without the whistle and rubber gasket for 5 minutes.
• Place the cake tin in the preheated cooker. Close the lid (without the whistle and gasket).
• Bake on low heat for 12-15 minutes. Check with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

Extra Tips (Soft sponge cake in cooker)

• You can use buttermilk or yogurt instead of milk for an even spongier cake.
• Remove the cake from the tin only after it has cooled.
• You can also add dry fruits or chocolate chips.
