Baking can be a daunting task for new chefs but as we are living under a lockdown, this is the time to sharpen your culinary skills. But to many of us newbies, baking a cake might sound very complicated with so many ingredients, flavours and balancing the oven temperature – it’s a lot of effort.

But what if we said you could bake a cake in a pan over a stove or gas? The stovetop steaming method yields equally yummy results as an oven-baked sponge cake. All you need is a deep pan with a lid, which closes tight to create the perfect steamy environment for baking.

While an oven-baked cake is preferred, having an alternative handy helps, especially in a crisis or if you are on short notice. Or you’re plain bored! Go ahead, bake a cake for friends and family just like Karisma Kapoor did on her self-isolation day.
