Ingredients
| 1 1/2 cups | 360 ml | white sugar |
| 1 cup | 240 ml | butter |
| 1/2 cup | 120 ml | milk |
| 1/2 cup | 120 ml | unsweetened cocoa powder |
| 4 | eggs | |
| 2 cups | 480 ml | all-purpose flour |
| 1/2 teaspoon | 2.5 ml | baking soda |
Instructions
- Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select the Saute function. Add sugar and butter to the pot; stir until butter melts, about 5 minutes. Add milk and cocoa powder. Whisk until smooth and starting to bubble, about 5 minutes. Remove pot and let chocolate mixture cool, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Pour 1/2 cup chocolate mixture into a small bowl. Reserve for drizzling over the cake.
- Whisk eggs, one at a time, into the remaining chocolate mixture in the pot. Add flour and baking soda; mix thoroughly.
- Return pot to the cooker. Close and lock lid. Select low-pressure Cake function according to manufacturer's instructions. Keep the venting valve open. Set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Switch to Warm function after timer goes off. Set timer for 30 minutes.
- Unlock and remove lid; lift out pot. Run a knife around the sides of the pot to release cake. Place a serving plate on top. Invert cake onto the serving plate.
- Poke holes in the cake with a toothpick or sharp knife. Drizzle reserved chocolate mixture slowly over the cake, letting it absorb the chocolate.
