When I first made my decadent chocolate cake, my husband's and daughter's expressions said it all. She says it's one of her "most favorites." Later, I took one of these to our next-door neighbors. Their teenage son, who answered the door, ate the whole thing without telling anyone else about it! —Aimee Fortney, Fairview, Tennessee

    Cook Time 25 min
    Yield 6 servings

    Ingredients

    • 4 large eggs, room temperature
    • 1-1/2 cups sugar
    • 1/2 cup butter, melted
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup baking cocoa
    • 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • Fresh raspberries or sliced fresh strawberries and vanilla ice cream, optional

    Directions

    1. Place trivet insert and 1 cup water in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla until blended. In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, coffee granules and salt; gradually beat into egg mixture.
    2. Transfer to a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Cover loosely with foil to prevent moisture from getting into dish. Fold and 18x12-in. piece of foil lengthwise into thirds, making a sling. Use the sling to lower the dish onto the trivet. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 25 minutes.
    3. Allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure. A toothpick should come out with moist crumbs. Using foil sling, carefully remove baking dish. If desired, serve warm cake with berries and ice cream.
