Instant Pot Cake ?

>To be honest, I’m not a big friend of Instant Pot. If you ask why, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to explain, I’m just not. But once my friend stayed with us for a few days and she baked this Instant Pot and I’m telling you. I really did have to reconsider and Instant Pot now has some serious redeeming qualities for me.

A single-pot, low-pressure, easy to bake, chocolate cake, complete with fudge and berries? You had me at single pot. This Instant Pot Chocolate cake really is a tiny miracle.

I even went as far as getting a smaller cake pan to bake these puppies on a more regular basis. Yes, using an extra pan to place in the Instant Pot is a good idea as the batter may burn or stick to the sides to much and you will have problems extracting the cake.

Now, about the frosting. I’m using an avocado in this one! How about that? As ridiculous as it sounds, avocado is actually a very neutrally tasting fruit and using it as a mushy base for frostings and fillings has been a revelation to me.

Once you’re done, decorate the cake at your heart’s content. Use berries or mint leaves or rosemary sprigs, whatever you see fit.

I hope you have fun with this cute little dessert!

Ingredients

1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil
3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
pinch salt, for the frosting
1 avocado
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, for the frosting
1/4 cup pure maple syrup, for the frosting
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, for the frosting

Steps

Step 1
Make a foil handle to lift the pan out of the Instant Pot.
Step 2
Mix together the almond milk and vinegar. Let sit 5 minutes.
Step 3
Mix together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 4
To the bowl with the almond milk mixture, add the maple syrup, coconut oil, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix until well combined. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. By spatula, stir just until the flour disappears.
Step 5
Oil a 6-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment. Don’t forget to oil the parchment. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Cover the top of the pan completely with a double layer of aluminum foil and pinch.
Step 6
Cover and seal the Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Separate the sides of the cake from the pan with a knife. Place a plate over the cake and turn it upside down so that the cake falls out of the pan and into the plate. Let cool on the plate completely.
Step 7
Process the avocado, cocoa powder, and salt until mostly combined. Add the maple syrup and vanilla. Process until smooth and creamy. Frost, slice, and enjoy!
