Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter
Start by gathering and prepping all the ingredients. Ensure that the butter is softened and the eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the salted butter and caster sugar. Beat them until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Gradually add in the whole eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This ensures that the batter becomes smooth and airy.
- Once the eggs are incorporated, add the milk and vanilla extract to the mix. Continue beating until everything is combined evenly.
- Slowly add the all-purpose flour in small portions, allowing each addition to blend in smoothly before adding the next.
Step 2: Create the Marble Effect
- Divide the batter into two equal portions in separate bowls.
- In one half of the batter, add the cocoa powder and mix it thoroughly to create the chocolate batter.
Step 3: Prepare the Baking Pan and Pressure Cooker
- Take a cake tin that will fit comfortably inside the Preethi Electric Pressure Cooker. Grease and line the tin to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Pour half of the vanilla batter into the prepared cake tin.
- Gently pour the chocolate batter over the vanilla batter in a swirling manner.
- Using a skewer or the back of a spoon, create a marbling effect by swirling the batters together. Do not over-mix; the goal is to create beautiful, distinct marbles of chocolate throughout the vanilla batter.
Step 4: Set Up the Pressure Cooker
- Add 1 cup of water to the base of the Preethi Electric Pressure Cooker.
- Place the trivet inside the cooker, which will elevate the cake pan above the water.
- Position the cake pan carefully on the trivet inside the cooker.
Step 5: Bake the Cake
- Close the lid of the electric pressure cooker and set the vent nozzle to the sealing position.
- Choose the Manual Mode and set the cooker to Cake Mode. The default program should be sufficient for this recipe, so no additional adjustments are needed.
- Let the cake cook for the preset time until the cooker switches to the Keep Warm mode, signaling that the cake has finished baking.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
- Allow the pressure to release naturally. Wait for the pressure indicator to settle before opening the lid of the cooker.
- Once the lid is opened, carefully remove the cake pan from the cooker. Let the cake cool for a few minutes before removing it from the pan.
Now, your Chocolate Marble Cake is ready to be served! It will be beautifully swirled with chocolate and vanilla, creating a perfect balance of flavors. The texture will be moist, soft, and perfectly dense.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve this cake warm as a tea-time snack or breakfast alongside a cup of coffee or your favorite hot beverage. Its delicate flavor and airy texture make it a treat for all occasions, whether youβre entertaining guests or simply enjoying a sweet moment by yourself.
Tips:
- Storage: This cake stays fresh for 2-3 days if stored in an airtight container at room temperature. It can also be refrigerated for up to a week.
- Customize: For a richer taste, you can add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter before baking.
- Flavor Variations: If you prefer, you can substitute the cocoa powder with a flavored powder, such as instant coffee or matcha powder, to create a unique twist on the classic marble cake.
