Method :

  1. Take a dish and add Maida,Baking Powder,Hot chocolate powder(Cocoa actually,but I used Hot Chocolate powder at the moment),Sugar dissolved in butter/ghee and Condensed Milk.
  2. Whisk the batter nicely and remove the lumps,let the batter be so smooth (yummy :D).
  3. Now ,take a greased plate or dish(rub the dish with ghee or butter) used with Pressure Cooker and pour the maida-sugar-milk-chocolate batter.
  4. Do not let the bottom of dish touch the base of cooker(You can put cooker plate in between).
  5. Let the steam come from the cooker, put the flame in medium or low ,and leave for 45 minutes.
  6. Once you turn off the flame, make sure not open the cooker for about 30 mins,let the cake rest inside after flame is turned off.
  7. For the toping, I used nicely sliced seedless dates, cashews,badam AND CHOCOLATE SYRUP :D.
Not just that, You can used Hide n seek biscuits powdered coarsely on the top of cake,kids would love to have chocolate cakes with strong chocolate flavored toppings (Not just kids, My taste buds too would want such flavors).

This is is just a simple recipe ,You can improvise with different ingredients you have,using different flavors. 

I loved this instantly prepared cake with very few ingredients,I hope you too did:)
