Chocolate cake recipe in pressure cooker is the most sought after cake recipe in all the cake recipes. Most of them do not have an oven or a microwave and this cake can be made as good as a cake made in oven.
I have also made some more cake recipes in pressure cooker like pressure cooker cake, rava cake, eggless chocolate cake etc…
Chocolate cake in cooker turns out very soft and spongy and the procedure is very easy and the results are absolutely amazing…
We often make cakes in oven but we all do not know how to operate an oven or do not have any oven and these cake recipes are for those who would like to try out the cake recipes in cooker rather than an oven or a microwave.
I have already shared how to make plain vanilla sponge cake in cooker and today would be sharing chocolate cake recipe in pressure cooker which has turned out soft and spongy.
It needs a basic cake tin made in alluminium and I have greased the pan with butter and floured the pan with maida.
Greasing and flouring helps in extracting the cake from the pan easily. Cake comes out easily from the pan.
When we are using an alluminium tin, these two steps that are greasing and flouring are very necessary to get a perfect cake.
Chocolate cake needs basic ingredients like maida, sugar, eggs, baking powder and vanilla extract and the main ingredient for a chocolate cake is cocoa powder.
Adding few spoons of cocoa powder gives us an amazing color and adding too much of cocoa powder makes the cake bitter. Be careful while adding cocoa powder.
This cake is made using egg and shall be sharing an eggless chocolate cake in a pressure cooker too shortly.
Below are the recipe details on how to make chocolate cake in pressure cooker and without oven.

3.Always keep in mind that there should be some medium between the base of the cooker and cake pan like sand, salt or wire stand and cake pan should be placed over these things to avoid direct contact.
