Gluten Free Instant Pot Flourless Chocolate Cake

​Gluten Free Flourless chocolate cake is one of my favorite desserts! I love this version because I can cook it in my instant pot or pressure cooker!

This gluten free flourless chocolate cake is dense and delicious.  Only three ingredients and you are ready to whip this together!  I cooked it in my instant pot.  I bought a 7 inch springform pan and it fits perfectly inside on top of the wire rack.  This allows you to add a small amount of water below the rack so your chocolate cake doesn’t get wet.  Put the finished cake in the fridge for a few hours and you are ready to eat!  I like to sprinkle the top with powdered sugar before serving it.  It is delicious paired with berries too!  So yummy!

IS GLUTEN FREE FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE LIKE FUDGE?

I have been asked this before and my answer is no.  I don’t really like fudge.  It is always to sweet and sticky for me.  However, this cake is not as sweet, especially when you use dark chocolate!  You can use milk chocolate or a mixture of chocolates to make this cake.  But, my favorite is dark chocolate!  

TIPS AND OPTIONS:

You can also make this flourless chocolate cake recipe in the oven using a baking dish and a Springform pan wrapped in foil.  Then you add water to the baking dish making a water bath to cook the cake in.  Just in case you still want to make this recipe but don’t own an Instant Pot or a Pressure Cooker!

Dense and delicious flourless chocolate cake.

SERVINGS 6 people

INGREDIENTS  

• 1 lb Gluten Free Dark Chocolate I used Guittard 74% Baking Wafers
• 8 Large Eggs
• 1 Stick Kerry Gold Butter if you don't use Kerry Gold it is 2 regular sticks of butter. 

INSTRUCTIONS 

• Cut out a circle of parchment paper to fit in the bottom of your springform pan. (7 inch if you are using an instant pot) Spray oil the sides of the pan.
• Whip your eggs until they double in size. They look very airy. If you use a stand mixer you can start the eggs and move on to step three while they are getting fluffy.
• Melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. Start off with 1 minute in the microwave, then stir. Add 30 second increments until it is velvety smooth.
• Once eggs and chocolate butter mixture are ready, start incorporating them together. Mix 1/3 eggs into chocolate and fold in so you don't flatten the eggs. Keep going until they are all mixed together.
• Pour into your springform pan.
• Cover cake with foil.
• Place your wire rack in the instant pot. Pour in about 1/2 cup of water into the bottom. Place the springform pan on top of the wire rack.
• Set your pressure cooker to high for 30 minutes. After it has cooked release the steam and open.
• Place the springform pan into the fridge to cool.
• Once cool, release the spring and plate your cake. You can dust with powdered sugar, top with berries or enjoy it with a glass of cabernet or a cup of coffee:)
