For all chocolate lovers out there, this chocolate cake baked in a pressure cooker can really turn out to be ‘Love at First Sight’. It has every essential element in it that makes up a perfect cake- rich, fudgy, moist and spongy. Before going into the details of it, let us decipher what makes this recipe a unique one. It is unusual because it is a kind of ‘mix in the pan’ recipe, whereby you blend just the right quantity of all-purpose flour, milkmaid, cocoa powder, baking powder, chocolate powder, butter and powdered sugar together.  I have made many other cake recipes in a pressure cooker as well like black forest cake, eggless rava cake, vanilla Cake, tutty fruity cake, spongy biscuit cake, No Bake Oreo Ice-cream Cupcake, Eggless Zebra Cake, Ferrero Rocher Chocolate, Chocobar Ice-cream, 10 Minutes Chocolate Cake, Red Velvet Cake, Hot Fudge Pudding Cakeetc

I have posted many cake recipes like:chocolate rava cake, eggless cake using oven, mango cake, tutty fruity cake, Eggless Chocolate Brownie, Coffee Chocolate Ice-Cream Recipe At Home, Chocolate Mousse Cake For Desserts, Homemade Chocolate Pudding Dessert Recipe, Easy Chocolate Swiss Roll Recipe, Oreo Ice Cream Cake Recipe, Golden Chocolate Pudding

For novice bakers, baking a chocolate cake is perhaps the first thing in their to-do list. The task is a little intimidating and challenging with all those equipment and ingredients demanding a correct usage. Choosing a pressure cooker is much more effortless as compared to an oven, which is why I am penning down this method for you to follow.

This recipe is really close to my heart since I prepare it for my husband on every Valentine’s Day. However, I spend the entire day staring at this irresistible chocolate cake, waiting for my husband to return from work so that we could celebrate the special day and devour it at the end. 😀 The best feeling is when I am praised for my baking skills, encouraging me to try it again the next time with full enthusiasm.

As for the chocolate Ganache, a pure blend of dark chocolate and whipping cream, it is easy peasy, requiring a little effort at the time of whisking. When it is all ready, pour it at the centre of the cake without a delay, to come up with a wonderful sweet treat. The beauty of this chocolaty liquid is that it never hardens like butter cream frosting, leaving your cake all moist and classy in appearance. Note that I haven’t included egg in this blend, to suit the cravings of vegetarians out there.

Baking chocolate cake in an oven is easy job but preparing it in a pressure cooker takes a lot of courage. You have to be aware of all the tactics to come up with a fluffy cake. A piece of advice would be not to use the rubber gasket at the time of baking. Note that pouring water into the cooker or heating it without salt will be a big no! Keep this in mind to end up successful as a baker.

Notes: Do not use the rubber gasket.
You can use sand instead of salt.
Do not pour water inside the cooker as we are not steaming the cake.
Do not heat empty cooker without the salt as your cooker will get damaged.
Make sure the butter is always at room temperature before using. If in case you forgot to take out the butter from refrigerator, in that case microwave it for 10 seconds to make little soft.
