Notes

  • Standard US Size cups and spoons used.
  • I have not added vanilla essence but one can add if required.
  • Lukewarm water or milk either can be added. One can replace the water/milk with oil, but then it adds more oil.
  • One can bake this in a pressure cooker too. For instructions on how to bake in a pressure cooker see this Eggless Chocolate Cooker Cake
