Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by greasing and flouring a 7-inch round cake pan that fits inside your pressure cooker. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal. Pour 1 cup of water into the pressure cooker’s base and set it to the low-pressure setting.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Combine well until evenly incorporated.
  3. Add 2 large eggs, 1 cup of whole milk, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Using a hand mixer, blend on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the batter is smooth.
  4. Carefully stir in 1/2 cup of boiling water into the batter until well combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Place the cake pan on the trivet inside the pressure cooker and cook on low pressure for 35 minutes.
  6. Allow the pressure cooker to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes, then use the quick-release method and let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
  7. Heat 1 cup of store-bought caramel sauce and 1/4 cup of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until smooth and creamy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  8. Inverted the cooled cake onto a serving platter. Drizzle half of the caramel mixture over the top, then stack the second layer of cake and pour the remaining caramel sauce over it.
  9. Top with 1/2 cup of toffee bits and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, allowing the cake to set for about 15 minutes before slicing.
