- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 8 ounces quality bittersweet chocolate, melted
- 23 cup chopped toasted peanuts
- 4 12 ounces chocolate wafers, crushed
- 14 cup butter, melted
- 18 teaspoon salt
- Make the batter: Lightly butter a 7-inch springform pan, coat it with the turbinado sugar, and tightly wrap the outer bottom and sides of the pan with foil to prevent water seepage; set aside.

- Prepare the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Place two sheets of paper toweling across the top of the pan and cover with 1 sheet of foil.
- Create a foil handle by scrunching a 32-inch-long piece of foil and place it under pan, then bring up each side to create the handle.
- Cook the cake: Place the pressure cooker's trivet accessory in the bottom of the pan and add 2 cups water.
- Using the foil handle, lower the cake pan into the pressure cooker.
- Seal the pressure cooker lid and bring the cooker to high pressure.
- Reduce heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 22 minutes.
