@sayantani,If u r using convectional oven then steaming optional will be there.so for that u can use normal tin.But mine is not convectional,so i used steaming pan or u can try this method also for steaming,Heat a pressure cooker with 10 cups of water inside. Place a metal mesh and keep the cake tin on it. Cover the pressure cooker without the weight. Let the cake cook for 2 hours on slow fire or till a knife inserted in it comes out clean.Hope this will helps you…
@sumee,thanks we can make it in regular cooker also.But it takes lot of time.This kinda steaming pans make the cake perfect and saves the time,is available here…

This really is inspiring! I have never tried to steam bake a cake before, but the texture of this cake tells me that it may be a good method to try. Most of the fruit cakes in the US are a lot denser than this one, but I do like your lighter version. I am so glad you posted this, I have saved the recipe. It does look delicious.
Wow cake looks super soft and yummy…love it!!!
