I have used the same recipe of lemon cup cakes for making this cake.As already mentioned this one is super easy ,delicious
and perfect for this summer as anything lemony is truly refreshing.
Ingredients
1.
Maida-1 cup
2.
Sugar-less than ¾ cup
3.
Oil-1/4 cup(use any unflavoured oil)
4.
Baking powder-1tsp
5.
Baking soda-1tsp
6.
Milk-1/2 cup
7.
Lemon juice-1tbsp
8.
Lemon zest- zest of two small lemons
(it was around 1 tbsp or more)
9.
Lemon yellow color-tad a bit (it is
purely optional)
Method of preparation
1.
Preheat oven at 180 degree for 10
minutes.
2.
Prepare an 8” inch cake tin.
3.
Take a bowl.mix all ingredients
except flour and stir till the sugar dissolves.
4.
Add the flour in two batches and give
a nice stir without any lumps.
5.
Pour in to prepared tin and bake for
30 minutes at 180degree or till the inserted knife comes out clean or cook this
in a pressure cooker for about 45 minutes.
Notes: lemon zest is lemon peel. It
can be taken by grating the skin .Be careful not to include the white inner
part while grating as it would taste bitter.
Indeed I love this eggless spongy cake.

ReplyDeleteI have something to ask. ... whether this citrus cakes (lemon, orange) made in pressure cooker tastes bitter or not. ..I had a bad experience. ..so I asked.
ReplyDeleteDear Saranya,
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting my blog.
it is not a matter wether the cake is made in cooker or oven.pressure cooker without gasket and weight works same as that of oven .cooker has nothng to do with the taste of the cake.It is the inner whiter part of the citrus skin causes the bitterness.so while grating fruits peel , the very outer skin only to be taken.hope this helps.pls see this link to know more about pressure cooker baking http://ranigourmet.blogspot.in/2015/04/easy-marble-cake-eggless-and-how-to.html. happy cooking :)
