Ingredients Required

  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)

  • ¾ cup powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • A pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup oil (any neutral oi/ sunflower oil is better)

  • 1 cup milk (room temperature)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

  • 1 tablespoon vinegar

Step-by-Step Method 

Step 1: Prepare the pan and cooker

Grease a small round or square cake pan with oil and dust lightly with flour. Keep it aside.

Place a heavy kadai or pressure cooker on the stove. Add salt to the base to create an even heat layer. Place a stand or steel ring inside. Cover and preheat on low flame for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Mix the dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, add flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar and salt. Mix well using a whisk, everything should be evenly combined and lump-free.

Step 3: Add wet ingredients

To the same bowl, add oil, milk, vanilla essence, and lastly  add vinegar+ baking soda mix. Gently mix using a spatula or spoon until a smooth batter forms.Do not over mix. The batter should be thick but pour able.

Step 4: Transfer and cook

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Tap gently 2- 3 times to remove air bubbles.

Place the pan inside the preheated cooker or kadai. Cover with a lid (remove the whistle if using a pressure cooker).

Cook on low flame for 35–40 minutes.

Step 5: Check if it is done

Insert a toothpick into the cake . If it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Turn off the flame and allow the cake to cool completely before demolding. If its not done keep it again for 5 minutes.

Tips for a Perfect No-Oven Chocolate Cake

If you want to add a simple chocolate glaze:

  • Heat ¼ cup milk with 2 tablespoons cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons sugar

  • Stir until smooth and slightly thick

  • Pour over the cooled cake

You can also add chocolate chunks / chocolate chips  above batter to get chocolatey inside.
