    Hi Ladies,

    Wanna bake a cake, but you don't have an oven?!
    Here is an easy way.

    1. Prepare ur cake batter. Pour it in ur cake mould (aluminium mould)

    2. Take a cooker, Put 1 1/2 cup SALT ( This is used instead of Sand)

    3. Then place a vessel above salt ( choose a plate which should be atleast 1" above salt layer)

    4. Place ur cake mould above the vessel.

    5. Put the cooker lid without whistle.

    6. keep the Gas flame to Sim.

    7. cook for 45 mins. In between you can check , cake is done in center using tooth pick/ knife

    NB: Dont not throw away the salt, Store it for next baking.


    Happy Baking

    regards
    Sindhu.

    No. nothing will happen, infact you can reuse the salt for multiple baking too. Just ensure the cake batter doesn't get dripped on the salt , else u would get burnt smell. Also remember to keep (initial 3-5 mins in high flame )stove in low flame.

    I have not heard about this style of baking. I too have the same feeling the salt may get burnt or start to melt. Anyways thanks for sharing

    Hi All,

    Even i was hesitant to try when my sister shared this method. I am a frequent baker and i loved this method (save electricity, also no preheating time ;) ). The salt doesn't get burnt, only it becomes light yellow color. You can even try out non-veg dishes in same method. Just ensure the juice doesnt drop on the salt. If anyone try this, please share your experience. Thanks.
