Milk --- 1 ½ cup

Sugar --- (powdered) ---1 cup

Oil (sunflower/corn) --- ¾ cup

Baking soda --- 1 Teaspoon

Preparation Time: Within 15 Minutes

Cooking Time: 45 Minutes

Pre-Heat: 10 Minutes

Total Time: 1 Hour 10 Minutes.

Serves: 4-5

Preparation:

Combine the flour, baking soda, cooking soda and mix it thoroughly. Mix milk, sugar and oil in a bowl. Mix both the mixtures in a bowl without any lumps. Now in this batter add dates, nuts and mix thoroughly.

Grease a non-stick pan or vessel, and transfer the batter into it. You can even set butter paper in the vessel and pour the batter into it, depends on your convenience. Spread the batter evenly and pat the pan with few shakes, to remove any air pockets that might remain.

Set the cooker with only the trivet (plate given along with cooker) and pre-heat for around ten to fifteen minutes in a stove.

Now set the pan containing batter, inside cooker and close the Lid, without gasket and weight valve. Cook for 15 minutes in high flame. After that, cook it for 30 minutes in a low flame.

After 30 minutes low flame cooking, test the cake to see whether it is fully baked, by inserting a wooden skewer in to the centre of the cake. The skewer will comes out free of batter, when cake is ready. Now set it aside to cool.

After it becomes to normal temperature, take the spatula or sharp knife and run it around the edges of the cake, to remove the cake out of the pan.

Cut the cake into the shapes you prefer and serve, as it can be eaten as such.

If you prefer to decorate with fruits, nuts, and icing, while serving, then that too taste yummy.

I hope you enjoy your dates and nut cake.

Warnings:

Don’t Use Weight Valve and gasket in cooker.

For ten minutes, Pre-heat cooker, with only the flat plate (Trivet).

Measurements should be accurate as given.

Tips:

You can add sugar free substitute, instead of sugar for diabetic people.

Alternate methods:

If you prefer to make cake with oven, then prepare the batter as above mentioned, preheat the oven and cook for 30 minutes at 180 c.

If you prefer butter instead of oil can prepare the batter with butter instead of oil.

If you prefer, either only nuts or dates, you can prepare it as either one of them.

If trivet not available, then fill the bottom of the cooker with sand.
