Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for the times when you need a bake finish outside the cooker. But for your pressure cooker, get it ready with about an inch of water at the bottom.
  • Mix all the dry ingredients flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in one bowl until they’re blended well.
  • Add the wet stuff like milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry and stir just ‘til smooth. Don’t overmix or your cake might get tough.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips gently so they don’t break up but spread out in the batter.
  • Grease your cake pan well and pour in the batter so it cooks evenly without sticking.
  • Set the cake pan on a trivet inside your pressure cooker. Lock the lid with the sealing ring in place and cook on high pressure for about 20 minutes. Use natural release to let the steam drop slowly this stops the top from sinking in.

Notes

You can swap milk for almond or oat milk if desired for a dairy-free option.
