- Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients - whip with a spatula utill the batter is smooth and no lumps. Don't over beat!
- Pour the batter in the pan .
- Pour 1.5 cups of water to the inner pot
- Place the pan over the silicone trivet. Cover the pan with foil and carefully place it inside the pot.
- Seal the Instant Pot lid and hit the Manual button. Set to High Pressure and cook for 40 minutes.
- When the 40 minutes is over, select the Cancel setting on the Instant Pot for a natural pressure release. After 10 minutes, release any remaining steam.
- Carefully open the IP and lift the cake out using the silicone trivet handles.
- Uncover the cake and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Now run a butter knife around the cake circumference and invert the cake on cooling wire rack.
Ganache
- In a saucepan or skillet, heat the coconut milk over medium heat until just simmering.
- Meanwhile, place the chopped chocolate or chocolate chips in a medium heat-proof bowl. Pour the steamed coconut milk over the chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes. Then whisk until completely smooth and chocolate has melted.
- You can use the ganache now if you prefer a more traditional liquid ganache texture. Alternatively, if you want a thicker texture more like a frosting, let the ganache sit for 1-2 hours and whisk occasionally, until it thickens and slightly hardens.
