Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Measure out the butter, sugar, eggs, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, milk, and vanilla extract. It’s helpful to have everything ready before you begin mixing the batter.
Step 2: Make the Cake Batter
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter and caster sugar. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to beat them together until light and fluffy. This may take about 3-4 minutes.
Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Continue to beat the mixture until smooth and creamy.
Next, add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine. Sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder into the bowl and gently fold them into the wet ingredients until well combined, creating a smooth batter.
Step 3: Prepare the Cake Pan
Prepare a cake tin by greasing it lightly with butter and dusting with a bit of flour or lining it with parchment paper. Once the pan is ready, pour half of the batter into the pan and smooth it out with a spatula.
Step 4: Add the Cocoa Powder
To the remaining half of the batter, add the cocoa powder and mix well until the batter is evenly combined and turns a rich chocolate color.
Step 5: Create the Marble Effect
Now, take the chocolate batter and pour it over the white batter in the cake pan. Using a skewer or a knife, gently swirl the two batters together to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to maintain distinct swirls of chocolate and vanilla.
Step 6: Cover the Cake and Prepare the Pressure Cooker
Cover the cake pan tightly with aluminum foil to prevent moisture from the pressure cooker from seeping into the cake.
Fill the electric pressure cooker with 1 cup of water. Place the trivet inside the cooker, then set the prepared cake pan onto the trivet.
Step 7: Cook the Cake
Turn on your Preethi Electric Pressure Cooker. Select the “Manual” mode, adjust the program setting to “Cake,” and make sure the vent nozzle is set to the pressure mode. Let the cake bake until the cooker switches to the “Keep Warm” mode, indicating the cake is ready.
Step 8: Natural Pressure Release
Allow the pressure to release naturally. Once the pressure indicator settles down, carefully open the lid of the pressure cooker.
Step 9: Serve
Remove the cake from the pressure cooker, carefully lift it out of the pan, and let it cool slightly before serving. This cake is best served warm, either as a breakfast treat or alongside a cup of tea or coffee.
Step 10: Enjoy
Slice the cake into generous pieces and enjoy the rich, velvety texture of the chocolate marble swirl. Whether served for a special occasion or simply as an everyday indulgence, this cake is sure to be a hit.
This Chocolate Marble Cake using the Preethi Electric Pressure Cooker offers an easy, yet decadent dessert that is full of flavor and visually stunning with its beautiful marbled design. The combination of chocolate and vanilla creates a timeless, comforting flavor, while the convenience of using an electric pressure cooker makes this recipe ideal for both novice and experienced bakers alike.
