Sieve The Dry Ingredients
Put the Baking Powder, Soda, Flour and Cocoa through a sieve. Shake the sieve till you only have the lumps left and then use a spatula to remove any lumps
Mix The Sugar And Butter
Next add the sugar and butter together an mix in a mixer or hand beater until smooth and creamy – approximately 5 minutes Break the eggs into a container and add one by one beating – with a little cocoa power with each egg Continue mixing for another 1-2 minutes per egg – remembering to scrape the sides of the bowl so all the ingredients are mixed well
Mix The Sugar And Butter
Now add the last of the flour and cocoa and mix for a further 2-3 minutes – or by hand as we did folding the mix together (see video) Now gently add and folding the chocolate and cherries to the mix. Add into the bowl Now cover the bowl with some parchment paper and we added a layer of foil. Also with a fold/crease in order to allow the cake to expand if it rises too much Make some foil handles to lower the bowling to the instant pot. Put the trivet in the instant pot and add water. You want enough water so it is halfway to three-quarters of the way up the cake bowl Cook for 80 minutes with quick release pressure Take out and test with a skewer to check it is done inside Let it cool a little and then tip out carefully of the bowl ready for decorating
