 1. Take all the spices and keep it aside.. First I’m in the preparation of Caramelized Sugar, It took some time to cool, and we need the ingredients in room temperature.. so here i clearly showed the pictures for caramelizing the sugar.. The reason i sharing the caramelization is atfirst i had lot of doubts in making a perfect caramelized sugar..  Heat a Kadai to good enough hot.. Put the 4 tsp of sugar to the hot Kadai..

 5. There the caramelization ends.. Once you saw the melted sugar like this , Add in the Hot boiled water to the caramelized sugar.. the reason of why i use the Hot boiled water here means.. Caramelized Sugar will go crystalized soon, So adding Boiled water Helps to dissolve the sugar easily..

Notes
  • Make sure All the ingredients are in Room Temperature..
  • Here i baked a 650 grams of cake in 5 liter pressure cooker.. 
  • Check the Baking ban with pressure cooker before you start the mission.
  • No Need to use the cooker Weight, Gasket also a optional to use..
  • Put flame in medium, don’t put the flame in low or high.. if the flame is low.. it take more more time to cook.. if the flame is High, the heat spread very fast and cake might burn..the timing here i mentioned for medium flame..
  • Grind the spices along with sugar,so that the spices will powder evenly..
  • The egg should foam up and raise, This is Trick for fluffy sponge cake..
  • If you add the Caramelized water after the batter fold, the cake will be hard, so add it as wise in the procedure..
  • Here the Dry fruits and nuts are cooked well so that you’ll get the softness and avoid the step of soaking the fruits and nuts in apple juice for 10-15 days..
  • I don’t have orange rind in hands so i skipped int he recipe.. if you had then add two tsp on the folding the fruits with the batter…
