Hi Frenz,
Anyone has tried baking cake using pressure cooker. I don't have oven and I want to bake cakes. I know many people bake cakes using pressure cooker, but whenever I baked my cake in a cooker, it turned out to be kind of sticky and not like powdery (cruble kind of). Its not that the batter is not cooked, i check by inserting a stick and it comes out clean, but I don't get that cruble kind of texture.
Can any one please help me one how to prepare the batter and how to bake using cooker?

Do not pour water in the cooker and put it on to heat with the cooker dish with holes at the bottom of the cooker. When the cooker has heated up, place the dish with the cake mixture inside on top of the cooker dish. Close the cooker with the lid but do not add the weight. After 2 or 3 minutes reduce the temperature and then switch off the heat after half an hour.
Do not open the lid to test whether the cake is done. Put a skewer through the hole of the weight. If the skewer contains the cake mixture, it is not baked. The mixture will not stick on to it when the cake is done.

I can't help with baking a cake in a pressure cooker; but, if I don't have an oven or just don't want to heat up the kitchen baking a cake - I bake it in a crockpot/slow cooker.
If you want to try this here are a couple of links with a lot of crockpot cake recipes -
