Step-by-Step Instant Pot Chocolate Lava Cake Guide Here are the ingredients for Instant Pot Lava Cake: Make Lava Cake with Cocoa Powder? For our first experiment, we used a combination of Bittersweet Chocolate + Cocoa Powder. The result was too rich and dense, so we decided to omit the cocoa powder in our final Instant Pot Lava Cake Recipe. Which Chocolate to Use for Lava Cake in Instant Pot? We experimented our lava cake recipe with 3.5oz (100g) Lindt 70% Cacao Dark Chocolate bar & 4 oz (113g) Hershey’s 70% chocolate chunks. They both worked fine. 🙂
