For an extra rich flavor, use dark cocoa powder. Garnish with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. Ensure the cake cools completely before drizzling with the reserved chocolate for best results. If you don't have an Instant Pot with a 'Cake' setting, use the 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' setting on low pressure.
