I have detailed information on how to use a pressure cooker to make cake so do check that post first before proceeding with this chocolate cake recipe. I had previously tried an eggless sponge cake in a cooker and decided to try a different recipe, a chocolate cake, with eggs this time. This recipe will work in an oven too but it worked wonderfully well in my cooker so I hope you try this out too. The cooking time can vary depending on the size of the pan and amount of batter you are using. I make a fairly small cake that got me about 10 large sizes and it took me roughly 50 minutes to bake it right. I used a 5 litre aluminium Premier pressure cooker. A few things to remember:
Do not use water in the pressure cookerDo not use the gasket (the rubber ring around the rim of the lid of your pressure cooker)Always place a plate or stand at the bottom of the pressure cooker to make sure heat is spread evenly while cookingKeep flame to a simmer so that the cooker doesn’t heat up too muchAlways be super careful when using your pressure cooker to make a cake. This is obviously not the intended purpose of a cooker and it can result in injury or worse if you don’t follow the instructions carefully. Please check my detailed post on using a pressure cooker for baking to make sure you are following the right method, I can’t stress on this enough.
