Instant Pot Chocolate Cake
There’s something magical about a chocolate cake, especially when it’s made effortlessly in an Instant Pot. This recipe is not only simple but quick, making it perfect for any gathering, celebration, or just a cozy night in. Let’s get into the thick of it!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup hot water
Instructions:
- Start by greasing a 7-inch round cake pan and setting your Instant Pot to the sauté function.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Add in the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth.
- Carefully stir in the hot water until well blended. Your batter will be quite thin; that’s okay!
- Pour the batter into your greased cake pan and cover it with aluminum foil to prevent moisture from getting in.
- Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of your Instant Pot and place the trivet inside. Place the cake pan on top of the trivet.
- Seal the lid and set the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for 30 minutes.
- Once the time is up, let the pot release pressure naturally for 10 minutes before doing a quick release.
- Carefully remove the cake pan using oven mitts and let it cool for about 10 minutes before transferring the cake to a wire rack.
- Once cooled, frost it with your favorite chocolate frosting or enjoy it plain – either way, it’s going to be a hit!
Now, slice it up, serve, and watch as everyone savors this mouthwatering Instant Pot Chocolate Cake. Perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or just because you can! Enjoy every bite!
