Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare your Ninja Foodi by lightly greasing the inner pot with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: gluten-free all-purpose flour, brown sugar, chopped pecans, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Whisk together until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until slightly frothy. Add milk and melted butter, whisking to create a smooth liquid mixture.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake tough.
- Transfer the cake batter into the greased Ninja Foodi pot, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Close the Ninja Foodi lid and set to bake mode at 350°F (175°C). Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes.
- Check cake doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pot for 10 minutes before carefully removing and transferring to a wire rack.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze before serving.
Tips
- Always use room temperature eggs and milk to ensure even mixing and a smoother batter.
- When measuring flour, use the spoon and level method to avoid dense, heavy cake.
- Don't overmix the batter—mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender.
- Check your cake's doneness early; every Ninja Foodi can have slight temperature variations.
- Let the cake cool completely before adding any glaze or powdered sugar to prevent sogginess.
- For extra flavor, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the batter to enhance their nutty taste.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness.
