• Bring just to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously with the whisk.
• As soon as the chocolate mixture comes to a boil, immediately pour it into the flour mixture.
• Just light mix. If you don't mix then also its fine.

mixing and making cake without oven

• With a wired whisk mix very well. However do not over do the mixing.
• Pour into the greased baking tin. gently shake the pan.
• Place a rack or stand on the salt layer. place the cake pan on the stand.
• Cover with a lid. The rubber gasket and the whistle should be removed.
• Bake cake for 40 to 45 minutes on a low flame. If baking in an oven, then bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees f (approx 177 degrees c) for 35 to 40 minutes.
• Check with a tooth pick to see if the cake is done or not. The tooth pick should come out clean.
• Remove the cake pan carefully from the pressure cooker. While the cake is still hot poke a lot of holes in it using a fork or a toothpick or a wooden skewer. Make a lot of holes as this is where the icing seeps into and they cannot be seen once the icing has been cooled.

to make the chocolate icing for cake

• In a saucepan, take butter, vanilla extract,brown sugar, milk and cocoa powder.
• Keep the pan on a low flame and with a wired whisk stir very well. The sugar should melt and the cocoa powder should dissolve. Keep on stirring continuously to get an even mixture.
• Bring this mixture to a boil.
• Once this icing mixture comes to a boil, then immediately pour it all over the cake. You don't need to spread it as the icing seeps down inside the cake.
• This cake tastes good warm also, but you cannot slice them and you can just have them directly from the pan. 
• You can also cool the cake in the fridge and then have it. Cover the pan with a lid or foil when keeping in the fridge also you can decorate with toffees and chocolate syrup.
• Slice and then serve the cake as a dessert.
