Eggless Chocolate Cupcake Recipe In Pressure Cooker

Jump to Recipe
Total Time: 45 minutes

Sharing a large cake with loved ones has its own splendor, but cupcake is a cute way to treat one person, that is, you. The eggless cup cake I am going to show you today is a spongy and moist cake, that I will be preparing in the pressure cooker, you can also make it in microwave.

I learnt to make cupcakes as part of a school project, in 8th or 9th standard. We were taught in double boiler back then, in a temporary cooking class set up at the chemistry lab. I will not tell you that this is the simplest recipe in the world, for it takes basic understanding of closing a pressure cooker! That used to be tad difficult for me, during my initial cooking experiments. However, the rest of the recipe is, like they say, “piece of cake”.

I have heard people refer to sweets and desserts as a simultaneous phrase. Whatsoever, desert and sweet does not mean the same the thing. Dessert is a meal course, sweet is the food eaten in that course. Typically a confection, not fruits. All sweets can be served as dessert! The difference is linguistic, not gastronomic. So that you know, this cupcake can be a dessert for sure, but its best enjoyed with a cup of coffee in the evening, (as I am having right now, while writing this) just the time after lunch, and before the children come back from school.

When cooking with chocolate I always the mention the differences between coco powder and chocolate powder, which is basically sweetened/unsweetened coco powder. You can check out my other chocolate recipes like “homemade chocolate” and “chocolate rawa cake” to know more about it.

Cupcake is believed to be an American invention, which typically aims at “self-treat” or “small-treat”. This is the predecessor of muffin. There is a hairline difference between cup cake and muffins and cup cake, wherein the former is just a small version of cake and is typically sweet, while muffins can be non-sweet, confectionaries like bread.

As you can see, adding eggs to cake is only an option, not a necessity. Egg is added to cake, or baked foods to give it a spongy texture and leaven the flour. Which you can achieve by the method I have shown in the recipe, without egg.

You can store this cup cake for up to 5days, in refrigeration or in an airtight cake box. To enjoy the most, you can microwave it for 10seconds to freshen it up. Finally, enjoy this freshly baked cupcake with a hot cup of coffee, and relax.
