Pressure Cooker Chocolate Bundt Cake
When you are craving something chocolatey but don’t want to spend hours baking and heating up the oven then turn to this fantastic chocolate bundt cake.
The recipe starts with a homemade chocolate cake that uses both cocoa powder and chocolate chips. The cake is baked in a bundt cake pan that fits inside your Crock-Pot Express resting on a silicone trivet with handles and cooks for just 32 minutes.
