• Refined oil or ghee- 1 cup
• Baking soda - 1 teaspoon
• Milk - 1 cup
• Condensed milk- 1/2 tin

Method Mixture Preparation ( Batter )
1. Mix sugar and ghee together and add condensed milk, stir them pretty hard till the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
2. Now prepare a mixture of "all purpose flour" (maida) and baking powder and sieve it to avoid any lump.

Note: As you stir the mixture, it will become dense. Add some milk in small amount to make it smooth. Keep on repeating the process of adding maida and then milk as required, till batter is well blended (It should look fluffy/ soft) and you find air bubble in the batter.
4. Add Vanilla essence to the batter and again blend thoroughly. Add dry fruits also.

5. Grease the baking tin (or cake tin) with oil and dust it by sprinkling maida over greased surface evenly.( or u can put a paper and grease it with oil in baking tin).
6. Pour the mixture into the greased baking tin.
Note: Baking Tin should be made of Aluminium.
7. Put sand in cooker of 1/2 inch width and then heat the presure cooker (w/o whistle) on high heat for 2 minutes.

9. Close the cooker lid and do not put the whistle on the lid.Lower the flame from high to low after 2 minutes.
10. Let it cook for 40 minutes, then switch off the heat. Do not open the lid immediately.
11. After 10 minutes open the lid to check whether the cake is done. Put a skewer inside the cake. (Skewer - a long thin pointed piece of metal or wood, used to test whether something is completely cooked).
