INSTANT POT VEGAN CHOCOLATE CAKE | vegan Instant Pot recipes
Hey guys, welcome back to another video.today I'm really excited to share this
fun and easy recipe with you - it's for avegan chocolate cake made in the Instant Pot.
If you don't know what an Instant Pot is, it's one of those big
multifunction pressure cookers, slowcookers, rice cookers. It makes yogurt. It does a
couple other functions that I can't remember right now, but they're seven in total.
Unlike baking a traditional cake in theoven where you're constantly checking - is
the cake done? Or is it going to be overbaked? Is it gonna be dry? With the
Instant Pot, you don't have to worryabout it because it cooks perfectly.
I add a cup of water to the bottom of theInstant Pot so it kind of creates a
steam effect, and that makes the cakereally moist and tender and there's no
dryness. I cooked the cake at highpressure in the Instant Pot for 30
minutes, but if you want a cake that's alittle fudgier and less fully cooked,
you can definitely bake it for like 25minutes. If you don't have an Instant Pot,
you can still use this recipe and thetechniques with a traditional pressure
cooker. Finally, I topped the cake with adecadent chocolate ganache made with
just two ingredients. And that's about itfor the recipe, so let's get right into it.
We'll start off with the chocolateganache because it might need some time
to rest. All you need is some canned full-fat coconut milk and you'll heat it and
stir until it's gently simmering. Thenpour the hot coconut milk over some dark
chocolate chunks or vegan chocolatechips and whisk that until it's smooth
and creamy and well combined. You can use the ganache warm as is, or if
you let it sit for a couple hours, itwill thicken up into more of a frosting texture.
For the cake we'll start off with thewet ingredients. You'll need some organic
granulated sugar, along with brown sugar,some oil like a vegetable oil or melted
coconut oil, plant-based yogurt--I'm usingcoconut yogurt--along with almond milk or
any other plant-based milk and someapple cider vinegar. Whisk that all
together for about a minute.
Then mix in a bit of vanilla extract. Forthe dry ingredients, all you need is
all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt and baking powder.
Gradually mix the dry ingredientsinto the wet ingredients in stages and
then add some boiling water and whiskuntil completely smooth.
Finally, I'm adding some dark chocolatechunks for extra decadence. You can also
use chocolate chips, but this is totallyoptional.
To make removing the cake easy, I'mlining a springform pan with a circular
piece of parchment paper. This is a 7-inch springform pan that's small enough
to fit the Instant Pot because atraditional 9-inch springform pan will
be too big. I'll link to this pan in thedescription box below if you'd like to buy it.
I have a 6 quart Instant Pot andI'm pouring a cup of water into the
inner cooking pot. Then I'm adding asteamer rack, which comes with the
Instant Pot, but you could also buy oneseparately on Amazon and I'll link to
that below. Then I'm adding the cake pandirectly on top of the steamer rack.
Make sure you set your Instant Pot tothe Sealing function and put it on high
pressure for 30 minutes. Allow theInstant Pot to release pressure
naturally. You'll know this step iscomplete when the metal pin here is all the way down.
Carefully unclasp thespringform pan and remove the parchment paper.
You can now drizzle the chocolateganache on top of the cake. And then for
the best part -- it's ready to eat.
