 I made two cakes so i had to double all the ingredients. This is the first time i am baking a cake ever, and baking in a pressure cooker is something I've never tried before. I was surprised to see how easy, tasty and simple the procedure was. The pressure cooker does a very good job of making the cake light and fluffy, and I was surprised to see a nice crust on top of the cake.
