Prepare the best and easy, quick and delicious Vanilla Sponge Cake with milk powder. It has a rich flavor of milk powder with the wholesome goodness of whole wheat flour. Sprinkled some sunflower, melon, sesame seeds for the crunchiness and healthy tea time treat is ready.

I baked this cake for a tea party at my friend Handan Yildirim’s house, my friend from Turkey. She is an amazing cook and also an amazing host. I will definitely learn some Turkish cuisine from her.

In this cake recipe, I used milk powder, milk when dehydrated by evaporation, is called milk powder. Milk powder is very easy to store and has a long shelf life. It is a great substitute for whole milk in many recipes.

I have shared some recipes with milk powder in my earlier post like – Instant Gajar Ka Halwa, Milk powder choco chip burfi, Homemade Khoya or Mawa With Milk Powder.

Pressure Cooker Method:
Grease the baking tin with oil and dust it by sprinkling whole wheat flour over greased surface evenly. Pour the mixture into the greased baking tin.

Important Notes:
- Use the baking tin of 6 inches in diameter, so that it can easily get into the pressure cooker.
- Use a 5-liter pressure cooker. It should be big enough to hold the baking pan.
- Baking Tin should be made of Aluminium.
- If baking tin comes into direct contact with the base of the pressure cooker, it can burn ( overbake ) the cake. So use pressure cooker container which has big holes in it or any aluminum small stand.
- No gasket and whistle are needed. Remove them before baking.
- Don’t add water to the pressure cooker.

How to Bake In A Pressure Cooker?
- Heat the pressure cooker on high heat for 2 minutes. Use sea salt or sand as a layer inside a cooker. Put a steel stand on a layer of salt or sand.
- Now put the cake tin containing the cake batter ( Do not put water inside the pressure cooker).
- Close the pressure cooker lid and do not put the whistle on the lid. Remove the gasket (rubber ring) from the lid.
- Lower the flame after 2 minutes. Let it bake for 50 -60 minutes on low flame. After 60 minutes check cake with a knife, if the mixture does not stick, it means the cake is done.
- If batter still sticks to knife then again bake for another 10 minutes. Do not open the lid immediately.
