1 3/4 cup sifted cake flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon vinegar

Powder sugar. Add butter and blend for 2 minutes. Add milk at room temperature and blend for a secong. Add curd and blend for another minute. Add dates, vanilla essence and blend for 2 seconds. Add the sifted maida and baking powder mix and just blend to mix together.
Pour into a well greased cake pan and shake gently. Top that with chopped walnuts and apricots. Bake in a heated oven at 190 degrees C for about 40 minutes.
When a nice smell starts coming in, insert a sharp knife into the cake; if the knife comes out in one smooth motion without sticking, this means your cake is ready.
Caution:
If baking tin comes into direct contact of the base of pressure cooker, it can harm ( overbake ) the cake.
