Ingredients
- Chopped semisweet chocolate weighing 4 ½ ounces, the brand Baker's®, followed by a ½ cup of unsalted butter, and another ½ cup of white sugar. Then, add 1 ⅜ cups of almond flour to the mix. Next, you will need 3 large eggs, separated into two portions. Finally, sprinkle in 1 tablespoon each of powdered sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Step 1
Begin by pouring 2 cups of water into a 7-quart multi-functional pressure cooker, ensuring to place a trivet inside. Prepare an 8-inch round cake pan by generously greasing it with butter.
Step 2
In a spacious microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and butter. Heat the mixture in the microwave at 800 watts for 2 minutes, then whisk it thoroughly before microwaving for an additional 2 minutes. Repeat this process until the chocolate and butter have melded completely. Next, incorporate the sugar, whisking vigorously until well combined. Stir in the almond flour until fully integrated, followed by the egg yolks.
Step 3
Using a stand mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold them into the chocolate mixture. Transfer the batter into the greased cake pan and cover it with aluminum foil. Place the pan on the trivet inside the pressure cooker.
Step 4
Seal the lid securely and set the cooker to high pressure, following the manufacturer's guidelines. Set the timer for 30 minutes and allow the pressure to build for 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 5
Once the cooking time is complete, perform a natural-release method to release the pressure, adhering to the manufacturer's instructions, which typically takes around 15 minutes. Open the lid and let the cake cool. Using tongs, carefully remove the cake pan and allow it to cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. To unmold the cake, place a plate over the pan and flip it over. Then, flip it again onto another plate to set it right-side up.
Step 6
Before serving, dust the cake with a mixture of powdered sugar and cocoa powder for an elegant finish. Enjoy your decadent creation!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Begin by organizing your ingredients in a charming wicker basket, creating a picturesque scene reminiscent of an Italian marketplace.
- 2. Select a vintage glass jar to store the rich cocoa powder, ensuring it stays fresh and aromatic for the perfect chocolate infusion in your decadent cake.
