Pressure Cooker Chocolate Cake Recipe Step by Step

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Pressure Cooker Chocolate Cake: baking a chocolate cake is probably on every novice baker’s to-do list. While baking can be a bit daunting to get started on due to all the required ingredients and equipment, you can make cakes that need no oven. There are a few different methods to be used here and my favourites are baking cake in a pressure cooker and steaming cakes until fluffy and soft. Both methods have yielded wonderful results for me so if you are looking for how to make a cooker cake, read on.

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 cooker
  • Do 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 cooking
  • Keep flame to a simmer so that the cooker doesn’t heat up too much
  • Always 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.

Description

Make a delicious and spongy chocolate cake in a pressure cooker. This cake recipe needs to oven or microwave to prepare.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup of plain flour
  • 3/4 tsp of baking soda (soda bi carb)
  • 1/4 tsp of salt
  • 3 tbsp of cocoa powder
  • 3 tbsp of butter, softened at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 1/4 cup of milk
  • 1/2 tsp of vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk the flour, salt and baking soda together until well combined
  2. Set aside until needed
  3. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar with a whisk until it comes together. You don’t need an electric beater, just do this step by hand until the butter and sugar are well incorporated
  4. Add the egg to this and beat again well until the mixture is a bit fluffy
  5. Now add water and cocoa to this and mix well until the cocoa powder has fully blended in
  6. Add the vinegar or lemon juice and the vanilla, mix again
  7. Add milk and mix gently again
  8. Now add the flour mixture in two additions, folding gently after each addition. Do not overmix at this stage, just mix until you don’t see any traces of flour remaining and the batter is lump free (small lumps should be okay, they will disappear on baking)
  9. Grease a small 6″ cake pan with butter and pour the batter in
  10. Tap the cake pan firmly on the kitchen counter a couple of times to remove any air bubbles in the batter
  11. Preheat the pressure cooker by placing the plate or tray at the bottom of the pressure pan and closing the lid (no water needed, no gasket needed on the lid)
  12. Heat on medium flame for about 2 minutes until the cooker is hot
  13. Gently lower the cake pan with a pot holder into the pressure pan
  14. Close the lid and keep the flame very low (simmer)
  15. Cook for about 45-50 minutes until the a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. The cake will also leave the sides of the pan, which is a good indication that it’s cooked
  16. Remove from inside the cooker and cool for 10 minutes in the cake pan
  17. Then, gently invert onto a cooling rack or plate and cool the cake completely before cutting and serving
  18. You can also use this cake as a base and frost it, make multiple layers, etc

Step by Step Pictures for Making a Cooker Cake (No-Oven Cake)

In a bowl, whisk the flour, salt and baking soda together until well combined

Place the butter and sugars in another dry bowl

Beat well with a whisk until it comes together. You can use an electric beater but it’s not necessary to use one

Add the egg

and cocoa powder

Next, add the milk and beat again until well combined. Follow with the vinegar (or lemon juice) and vanilla. Beat again.

Now add half the flour mixture, fold until you don’t see any more streaks of flour, add the remaining flour, and fold again. Do not over mix at this stage.

The batter is now ready

Prepare the pressure cooker by placing a plate or pot stand at the bottom of the pressure pan. Close the lid and heat on medium flame for 2 minutes until the pressure cooker is nicely heated up.

Gently insert the cake pan and close the lid again.

Cook on very low flame for about 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out with no wet crumbs

Invert onto a plate or rack and cool completely before cutting and serving. You can also frost the cake before cutting.

Making a cake without an oven in a pressure cooker is really a simple procedure and if you follow the steps closely, I guarantee a soft and spongy chocolate cake. If you try this recipe, please leave a comment to let me know. You can easily double the recipe for a larger cake, just use an 8″ or 9″ cake pan if that’s the case and make sure your pressure cooker is large enough to hold it. You can also bake this cake in an oven, check if it’s done in about 30-40 minutes since baking times will vary.

    Hello nags,
    I love your recipe. I don’t have an oven so Thisbe is just perfect for me!
    I have a couple of questions though, if I want to modify this recipe for a vanilla cake or cake with nuts or blueberry cake or maybe some other variation, do I have to change the quantities of flour, sugar, butter etc?
    Also if I want to bake a bigger quantity at one time in a microwave then do I have to make any changes?

    Thanks again for the recipe!!

      you can make variations in the basic batter, it should still work fine, like adding blueberries, one 1 tbsp cocoa powder, etc.

    i made my first cake today .
    It was a soft and spongy cake, but its sides were a little dry
    the cake was sticking at the bottom of the pan a little(i have buttered the pan), so little difficult to come off, can you please tell me why?
    but overall it was good and everybody liked it, even with these flaws

      not necessary. my pressure cooker came with that plate so i used it. you can use a regular stand or plate too, but make sure it doesn’t lie flat on the bottom on the cooker, otherwise there’s no point in using it. there has to be some space between the bottom of the cooker and the plate to leave the heat disperse evenly

    This was the first time I made a cake. I’m not much of a cook. I never cook infact. But making this cake was so simple! And it turned out to be really delicious. What I did for an additional flavor was that I added some walnut to it. It tasted good. Just one thing though, I think the baking soda could’ve been a bit less? Coz I’ve made this cake two times in exactly the same way as has been told and both the times the cake cracked on top. But I must say the cake was so moist and fluffy and tasty. I loved it.

    Hi I made the cake with the above recipe and instructions – only mistake I made was i added double the quantity of water. The kids loved the cake. But I have a few questions- the base came out harder ( chewable and the top soft. Though overall my kids and their friends wanted more but I still feel I can improve on it. Thanks for the recipe. Will make it again.

      adding double the amount of water would change the texture and is probably the reason for the issues with base etc. do try again

    Nags,
    This recipe was too good. I have mailed you before but it’s been a while now. Currently I don’t have an oven in my house and this Christmas all my friends were baking and I just had to make a cake. So I checked your website and came across this recipe and the institutions to bake in the pressure cooker. They were very detailed instructions and it helped me to venture into baking the chocolate cake!!
    Thanks a million!! My cake came out perfect.
    I baked in a 10L pressure cooker though and I used the try that comes with the cooker cause I didn’t have a baking tin. Cooked it for 50min. It was done !!
    Have send you a pic in Twitter!!
