Flourless Chocolate Cake
The Instant Pot ensures that making this flourless chocolate cake is easy and quick! This cake recipe starts in the microwave, though. In a medium-size bowl, melt together the butter, chocolate chips, and cocoa powder. Melt at 30 second intervals, mixing between.
Once completely mixed and melted, add to your bowl sea salt, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Once completely mixed, add in your eggs one egg at a time. Mix well between each egg.
Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of your Instant Pot insert and lay in the trivet.
Prep your 6-quart spring form cake pan by cutting a parchment liner for the bottom of the pan. Make the parchment liner a bit bigger than the bottom of the pan so that when you go to remove the cake from the bottom of the springform, you can use the parchment paper to easily slide your cake off. Spray the bottom and the sides of the cake pan with cooking spray.
Add your cake batter to your cake pan. Cover with aluminum foil tightly.
Place your pan on the trivet. Holding the two handles of the trivet, place it in the Instant Pot on top of the water.
Set your Instant Pot to high pressure for 60 minutes and naturally release for 15 minutes.
Once the pressure is complete, twist open the lid to your Instant Pot. Using a towel pull both handles of the trivet evenly and transfer to a cooling rack. Allow your cake to rest for about two hours.
You can enjoy your cake right away, after it cools, or you can cover it and keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
