Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Kodiak Cake Power Mix: Dark Chocolate
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot
  • Spray your Instant Pot egg molds with avocado oil or coconut oil and set aside
  • In a microwave safe mold melt the coconut oil. 30 second increments and let cool while you put together the rest of the recipe
  • Then in a large mixing bowl add the Kodiak Cakes Dark Chocolate flour, egg, vanilla extract, coconut sugar, milk and lastly the coconut oil. Fold in until well combined-- but not over stirred.
  • Pour batter evenly into the 7 molds. Then place the SILICONE lid on top of the molds. It MUST be silicone. If the lid is plastic DO NOT put it in instant pot. Instead cover the tops of the mold with aluminum foil to prevent moisture from getting to the spider cakes. Then place on your Instant Pot Trivet to lower into the Instant Pot
  • Make sure your steam release valve is locked. Then set your Instant Pot to 7 minutes high pressure. Once the clock reads LO 00, you will let it naturally release for 11 minutes. Which means don't do anything and when the clock reads LO 11-- then you will unlock the steam release valve and let the rest of the air come out.
  • Since it is on a trivet take your Instant Pot cloves or towels to touch the trivet handles and pull the mold out. Make sure you do it carefully so no moisture gets on the cakes.
  • Let them rest for 2 minutes with the lid off before popping out of molds
  • Then slice in half vertically for longer bugs or horizontally for squatty fatter bugs! Then add on pretzel legs and decorative eyes and you have yourself a chocolate cake spider!

Notes

How to store: 
Keep in air tight container in refrigerator for 3-5 days. 
How to reheat: 
Heat in the microwave for about 5-10 seconds. Then add the legs and eyes on! Best though if they are fresh.
