I did find the book, finally, and you're pretty much right in the recipe
that's in the book, it's a basic white fruit cake but recipe could be
adapted differently, while still using the method. Personally, I would find
this too much trouble and don't wonder why I've never done cake in a PC. LOL

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs well beaten
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups mixed fruit, chopped
1 1/2 cup flour sifted
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 pineapple juice

5 cups of water in cooker with rack

combine butter and sugar, add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
Sift 1 cup of flour with the salt and baking powder. Add the pineapple
juice alternately.
mix the fruits with the remaining 1/2 cup of flour and add to mixture.

turn into a greased bowl or mold that will sit loosely in cooker. Cover bowl
with waxed paper.
place bowl on rack with water in the cooker. Place cover on cooker. Allow
steam to flow from
vent pipe for 20 minutes. Place weight on vent piple and cook for 60 minutes
over medium heat or 10 pound pressure.

Allow stem to return to DOWN position.
