Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Chocolate Cake:
- All-purpose flour – 1 cup
- Cocoa powder – 1/4 cup
- Baking soda – 1/2 tsp
- Baking powder – 1 tsp
- Powdered sugar – 3/4 cup
- Yogurt – 1/2 cup
- Milk – 1/2 cup
- Oil – 1/4 cup
- Vanilla essence – 1 tsp
- Lemon juice or vinegar – 1 tsp
For Decoration:
- Whipped cream – 1 cup (well-beaten)
- Cherries – 10 to 12 (fresh or canned)
- Chocolate shavings – 1/2 cup
- Simple sugar syrup – 4 to 5 tbsp (made with equal parts sugar & water)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together yogurt, milk, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix gently. Lastly, add oil and fold until smooth.
Step 2: Bake in a Pressure Cooker
Preheat your pressure cooker with 1 cup of salt at the bottom and a stand. Pour the batter into a greased cake tin and place it inside the cooker. Close the lid without the whistle and bake on low-medium heat for 40–45 minutes. Check with a toothpick.
Step 3: Cool & Slice the Cake
Once done, let the cake cool completely. Slice it horizontally into 2 or 3 layers, depending on the thickness.
Step 4: Assemble the Black Forest Cake
Brush each layer with sugar syrup to keep it moist. Add a generous layer of whipped cream and sprinkle chocolate shavings. Repeat for all layers. Finally, cover the entire cake with cream, top with cherries, and decorate with more chocolate!
Extra Tips:
- Do not overmix the batter—it can make the cake dense.
- Make sure the whipped cream is properly beaten and chilled for easy spreading.
- Refrigerate the decorated cake for at least 3–4 hours before serving for best taste and texture.
