Does anyone know if this cake freezes well?
Easy, tasty recipe!! I absolutely love it. Once done, we sliced it and found it a little soft…perhaps undercooked…but it was just right. My daughter 11 yo thought it a little sweet and thinks next time we dial down on the chocolate chips . I on the other hand LOVED it!!
Time for pressure cooking too short. Cake not done enough. Totally mushy.
ssdddff it is horride my son went to the er i am not going to sew you because he 24 years old
Absolutely love this! Made it with chocolates the first time, and now trying it with peanut butter chips!
Nice, thank you for the recipe. I use this silicone trivet with heat-resistant handles and it’s so much better than the metal trivet that came with the instant pot. I got it on Amazon: https://amzn.to/35LvU9n
Im going to go ahead and take a guess that the commenter “not” never graduated high school.
The cake was very mushy. I added an extra 15 minutes and it didn’t do much. Oh well.
I made this cake last weekend but added half a cup of coffee because the batter was very thick and clumpy. Thirty minutes was not enough time to cook it, I ended up cooking it for 55 minutes on the cake function. I frosted it with chocolate buttercream. It was very dense but velvety and melts in your mouth. My whole family raved about it and want me to make it again.
Yummy!
Thickness of the cake is less than one inch. I was expecting more than that.
A really dense fudgy cake. If it’s fluffy and moist you are looking for, look elsewhere.
