This Chocolate Ganache cake tastes even better when made in a pressure cooker!

Ingredients: For Cake 135 gm refined flour 50 gm cocoa powder 125 gm icing sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 125 gm whisked yogurt 50 gm melted butter 120 ml warm water 1 egg Pinch of salt 1 tsp vanilla extract For best results, use a pressure cooker

Ingredients for the chocolate ganache: 250gm dark chocolate (chopped) 125 gm butter 100 gm icing sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 tsp instant coffee (optional) 200 gm cream

For the cake batter, mix all wet ingredients with sugar until dissolved and well combined. Sift in dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Preheat the pressure cooker on medium-high heat until hot. Pour the batter into a greased cake tin and place it inside the cooker.

Close the lid and cook on medium-high heat without the whistle for 30-45 minutes. Check if the cake is fully baked using a toothpick. Once baked, remove it from the cooker, demold and let it cool completely. Cut the cake in half horizontally.

For the ganache, heat all ingredients in a saucepan on low heat until the chocolate and butter melt. Remove from heat, stir until smooth, then refrigerate for 15 minutes. Whisk with an electric blender until airy.

Spread ganache on one half of the cake and sandwich with the other half. Coat the entire cake with ganache, smoothing it with a palette knife. Garnish with fruits of your choice and sugar before serving.
