  • 1/3 Cup Cocoa powder, sifted (30g)
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/4 Cup Unsweetened almond milk, at room temperature

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk all the ingredients up to the almond milk (not including the milk)
  • Add in the almond milk, eggs, oil and vanilla and whisk until combined.
  • Pour in the boiling water and whisk until well mixed.
  • Pour the batter into an 8 inch pan and cover tightly with tinfoil. Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside
  • Place the cake into the pan, cover and set the lid to sealing. Cook for 37 minutes and then let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before releasing all the way.
  • Uncover and let the cake cool COMPLETELY.
  • Then, frost and DEVOUR!
