Instructions

Watch the Video for Better Understanding

    Cake Pan Size and Depth

    • Use 6 inches Cake Pan for the Instant Pot cakes. Normally Fat Daddio's Cake Pans are popular for IP cakes. These are 6 inches wide in diameter and 3 inches high. I use this pan regularly and get good results.

    Preparing the Baking Pan.

    • For 6 inches Baking Pan, cut out a 7 inch round parchment paper. Grease the cake pan lightly with oil. Place the parchment paper at the base of the pan. Set it aside.

    Preparing the CAKE BATTER

    • Place the inner pot inside IP. Pour 2 cups of water inside the inner pot. Plug it in. Move onto making the batter now.
    • Add vinegar to the milk and set aside. It will curdle a bit. This is normal and desired for the recipe.
    • Take a large bowl. Use a cake sift/sieve and sift flour + cocoa powder + coffee + baking soda and powder + salt through it. Now add sugar to the bowl. Mix all these ingredients well with a fork. 
    • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add milk with vinegar in it + cooking oil + vanilla essence to the bowl. Give it a good mix with a spatula or fork till it becomes a batter.
    • Transfer this batter to the prepared pan. Level the batter with a butter knife or spatula. Cover it with the aluminum foil creating a slight dome in the middle. Check the video.

    Making Eggless Chocolate Cake in Instant Pot

    • Place this covered pan on the rack and slide it gently inside the Instant Pot. Cover the IP with its Lid. Set the floating valve to SEALING. Follow NPR (natural pressure release).
    • Press the CAKE button and set it to Normal Mode/ High Pressure for 40 MINUTES.
    • Once the timer goes off and the safety valve drops, open the lid. Carefully take the cake pan out with the rack holding by its handles. 
    • Now carefully remove the aluminum foil from the top, making sure that the water on it does not drop on the cake inside. Blot the excess water from the top of foil, if any.
    • Let the cake sit in the pan for 10 minutes. Now run a butter knife around the edges and carefully take the cake out. Let it cool on the cooling rack for another 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the Quick Ganache.

    Quick Ganache Recipe

    • Take a microwave safe bowl. Add chocolate chips and milk to it. Microwave for 30 seconds. Take it out. Mix till both the ingredients become one into ganache.

    Smearing Ganache on Cake

    • Pour ganache over the cake. Take a butter knife and spread it around gently. Top it further with either chocolate chips or frosting of your choice, or fresh fruits.
    • Your chocolate cake in instant pot is ready to be devoured. Mine was gone in an hour. I promise there will be no need to store it. It will be attacked as soon as it is out.

    NOTES

    • Few things to note about this cake -
    • 1. Since it is an eggless cake, the texture is not sponge-like. It is a denser cake. 
    • 2. If you have to store it, then store in an airtight container. It can dry out fast.
    • 3. This cake can be easily veganised by substituting regular milk with plant milk of your choice.
    • 4. If you want to add an egg in it for a slightly fluffier texture, then add 1 egg to it along with wet ingredients. Make sure it is at the room temperature before adding.
