NUTMEG CAKE (NIGERIAN) BAKED IN A PRESSURE COOKER

How to bake cake in a pressure cooker

The few ingredients used here are proof that this is a very easy delicious cake to bake. I can eat this particular cake because it’s not too sweet. I need to remind us that to bake in a pressure cooker, you need to remove the gasket and whistler from the pot. After discovering how much gas is saved when small cakes are baked in a pressure pot, I don’t think I can go back to baking my tiny cakes in the oven. My oven consumes so much gas in those 45 minutes of baking a small cake. I’ll leave that for when we bake with more than one baking pan.

With a pressure pot, I make use of just one burner. That is like using just the quantity of gas needed to 

boil beans or cook moi moi.. I am baking more smaller cakes now for the kids because I don’t have to worry about gas consumption. (Shop small sized  baking oven)

 

 

 

 

 

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups all purpose flour (Shop measuring cups)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt (Shop measuring spoons)
Half teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
250 grams butter. I used 1 sachet baking margarine
6 eggs

DIRECTION:

1. Add all ingredients in a mixing bowl the way they are listed above. Starting from flour to eggs.
2. Mix manually until well combined. I mixed with a wooden spatula for about 3 minutes.
3. Pour batter into a greased baking pan and set aside.
4. Cover the bottom of your pressure pot with table salt. Place a few stones (rocks) on the salt, lock the pot and preheat for 5 minutes.
5. Carefully open the pot (Shop pressure cooker) with a little difficulty though because at this point pressure is already beginning to build in there. Place the baking pan in the pot and put the lid back on.

6 Bake for 25 minutes, place pressure pot under a running water tap to reduce pressure.  Open the pot and check by inserting a toothpick or skewer in the cake.

If it isn’t done depending on your type pressure cooker, you can put it back on fire to bake for another 20 minutes  before checking again. My stove isn’t really hot. If your gas cooker is very hot then your nutmeg cake will bake faster.

Once the toothpick comes out clean, your pressure cooker cake is baked.

Enjoy with friends and family.
