Stovetop Chocolate Cake Recipe-Instant pot?

John B. (Q&A ID 3856)

Can I use my instant Pot to make the Stovetop Chocolate cake Recipe that was sent to me? I don't have a dutch oven so I figured I'd ask about the instant Pot.

Hi John - I think you could definitely make a steamed cake in an Instant Pot. You'll want to use the rack that comes with your Instant Pot to elevate the cake pan up off the bottom and out of the water. I believe the largest cake pan that will fit in the Instant Pot is a 6-inch pan, which is not a standard size so you may need to buy one. Luckily, Samantha from the My Kitchen Love blog already modified our recipe for the Instant Pot! See her version of our recipe here. Good luck! Best, Lynn C.

I made my cake today in my dutch oven. When I turned it out of the cooled pan, the bottom (now top) was not fully cooked. Could I have put it back in to cook longer?
