Table of Contents
Cake Ingredients:

300 ml milk (room temperature)
170 grams sugar
70 ml heated cooking oil
240 grams all-purpose flour
30 grams cocoa powder
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder
Chocolate Glaze:

250 ml milk
1 teaspoon Agar-Agar powder
250 grams dark chocolate
8 grams butter
For a Mold Sized 18x18x7 cm
Instructions:
Preheat Without Oven:

Fill a large pot or a pressure cooker with about 2 inches of water. Place a heatproof stand or trivet at the bottom. Cover it and heat it on medium heat while preparing the cake batter.
Prepare the Cake Batter:

In a mixing bowl, combine room temperature milk, sugar, and heated cooking oil. Mix until the sugar dissolves completely.
Sift in all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and vanilla powder. Mix until you get a smooth batter without lumps.
Grease and Prepare the Mold:

Grease the 18x18x7 cm mold with oil or butter. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Baking Without Oven:

Pour the prepared cake batter into the greased and lined mold.
Place the mold on the stand/trivet inside the preheated pot/pressure cooker. Cover the pot with a lid (do not use the pressure cooker lid) and bake on medium-low heat for about 40-50 minutes.
Check the doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Once done, remove the cake from the pot and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Chocolate Glaze:

Prepare the Glaze:

In a saucepan, heat the milk until warm but not boiling. Add Agar-Agar powder and stir until dissolved.
Add dark chocolate and butter to the warm milk. Stir continuously on low heat until the chocolate melts completely and the mixture thickens slightly.
