Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 150 gm All-Purpose Flour also known as maida
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
Wet Ingredients
- 100 gm Butter at room temperature, melted
- 3 tbsp Sugar powdered
- 1 cup Milk
- 200 gm Sweetened Milk condensed, optional
- 75 gm Chocolate dark
Other
- 1/4 tsp Salt for pressure cooker base
- 1 8 Inch Cake Pan aluminum or other pressure-cooker safe pan, round
Instructions
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugar
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until well combined. If using sweetened condensed milk, add it now and mix until incorporated. Be mindful of the sugar content if using both sugar and condensed milk.
Melt the Chocolate
- Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Ensure it is completely smooth before proceeding.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Add the melted chocolate to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until fully incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Add the milk as needed to achieve a pourable batter.
Prepare the Pressure Cooker
- Remove the whistle from your pressure cooker. Sprinkle a thin layer of salt on the bottom of the cooker to help prevent sticking. Place a heatproof stand (preferably metal) inside the pressure cooker.
Preheat Pressure Cooker
- Close the pressure cooker lid and preheat on medium heat for 5 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
Prepare the Cake Pan
- Grease an 8-inch round aluminum cake pan and pour the batter into the pan.
Bake the Cake in the Pressure Cooker
- Carefully place the cake pan onto the stand inside the preheated pressure cooker. Close the lid, reduce the heat to low, and bake for 25 minutes. Do not open the lid or adjust the heat during this time.
Check for Doneness
- After 25 minutes, check for doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready. If not, continue baking in 5-minute increments until done.
Cool and Serve
- Remove the cake from the pressure cooker and let it cool completely in the pan before frosting or serving.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Dark Chocolate Pressure Cooker Cake
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa.
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for optimal creaming and a lighter texture.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
