Instructions
Instructions
- Grab an ungreased 9x13 pan that fits your pressure cooker. This recipe is made for that size so it cooks just right.
- Sift or stir together your dry ingredients: the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Getting them mixed well is key.
- Make three little wells in your dry mix. Pour water into the biggest one to keep that moisture in place.
- Add vegetable oil into the second well. Then pour vinegar and vanilla into the third. It’s like a little science experiment.
- Stir everything till you get a nice smooth batter. Spread it evenly in your pan so it cooks uniformly.
- Lock the lid on your pressure cooker, set the sealing ring right, and cook it on high pressure for about 35 minutes. When done, do a quick release watching your steam cues carefully. Test with a toothpick for that tender pull.
- Let your cake cool before digging in.
