Behold the Pillsbury EGGLESS COOKER CAKE MIX!! Best thing about this cake mix, besides the fact that no chicken slime is required, is that NO OVEN IS REQUIRED! AMAZING! Because those of you familiar with the cooking situation over here also know that ovens are few and far between.
Last night Chellapandi and I decided to try this out. I must say, I had my doubts. How could this possibly work? In a PRESSURE COOKER? We mixed the batter and put it in a metal rice container and then sat that down in a couple of inches of boiling water inside the pressure cooker. Then we applied the pressure cooker lid, without the whistle (key, apparently, to preventing a cake explosion). There were some initial problems with water bubbling up into the cake, but Chellapandi resolved that. For a while we would look in there and it just looked like brown lava inside the pan, but slowly and surely it started to turn into CAKE!!! As the cake pan bobbed up and down in the boiling water, shaking the pressure cooker up and down, sure enough a chemical reaction happened resulting in CAKE. Last night I devoured half of it and I must say it was great. Not quite sweet enough, but it's homemade cake made in a pressure cooker and it's amazing. Whoever came up with this at Pillsbury is a genius.
Pillsbury has made homemade cake possiblefor Brahmins without ovens.

Brilliant, I say! What a creation!
A true feat; I am astounded once again by the ability of products to transmorph themselves for the needs of local conditions. Cake in a pressure cooker, I love it!
