    1. You can bake in a pressure cooker. Keep a pan or a plate or any metal lid on stove and place the pressure cooker on top of it. This will prevent the bottom of the cake burning. Remove the casket(rubber) and weight of the lid as well. Any stainless steel vessel that fits into the pressure cooker will do. Happy baking :)

  32. Hi Jeyashri,
    Can I make the sauce in advance as well & pour it at the time of serving for guests? Or, would it be good to prepare it fresh?

    2. Hi Jeyashri, I tried this and it came out tasty, but with a couple of things not so good: one being the cake color was on the dark brown side & second was that it was hard around the edges. Any suggestions on what I could be doing wrongly?

    3. You must have over baked the cake, the temperature and cooking time varies from oven to oven. So according to your oven you keep control over the temperature and time. Try to keep the temp slightly low and cook for few more mins.
