Instructions
Instructions
Preheat your pressure cooker by adding a little water and setting up your rack or trivet. Grease your cake pan well so nothing sticks later.
Cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter with both sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
1 cup unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs
Stir in the brewed coffee and ½ cup buttermilk. Sift self-rising flour and cocoa powder together, then add gradually to the wet mixture and mix just until combined.
1 cup strong black coffee, 0.5 cup buttermilk, 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Fold in chocolate chips carefully. Pour batter into greased pan and spread evenly. Cover loosely with foil to retain moisture.
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Place the pan on the trivet inside the cooker and seal the lid. Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes.
Use a slow release on the valve. Wait a few minutes after pressure has naturally released before lifting the lid.
Let the cake cool. Mix extra butter with powdered sugar and buttermilk for icing, then drizzle caramel sauce and sprinkle pecans and more chocolate chips on top.
