Instant Pot Unicorn lava cake – I didn't know what else to name it. I could have named it a rainbow lava cake, but unicorns are just so much more magical…don't you think?<\/p>\n

Did I make this because I wanted to? No…Angela asked me to make her something “Barney with different colors that Barney loves because Barney loves all colors, especially purple magic Barney colors!”<\/p>\n

Yes, she did not take a BREATH when she was asking me to make her something. You see, I made Peanut Butter Chocolate lava cakes<\/a> yesterday; however, she can't eat chocolate (nor can my other nephew).<\/p>\n

\"Instant<\/a><\/p>\n

So I came up with this! A freaking Instant Pot Unicorn lava cake.<\/p>\n

She was pretty stinking excited. I don't know why I encourage her love and passion for Barney, but whatever. Don't judge me. If a unicorn lava cake is gonna make her happy, who am I to say no? Especially since it really doesn't take too much time to make.<\/p>\n

The only time consuming part of making the Instant Pot unicorn lava cake was making the different colors and then layering them inside of the pyrex bowls<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Preparing the Batter for the Instant Pot Unicorn Lava Cake<\/h3>\n

When you follow the recipe for the Unicorn lava cake, you'll split the batter up equally into 5 different bowls or containers. I used 4 different food colors: Red, Blue, Green, and Purple (I made purple with equal parts of blue and red).<\/p>\n

In total, it took about 6 drops of each food color to get what I wanted in making sure that the Instant Pot Unicorn lava cake turned out bright and vibrant.<\/p>\n

I didn't want Angela too look at something dull and boring. She loves vibrant colors, so I as going to do the best that I could. I took it as a small challenge to make something “Happy and Bright” to eat, even though she toted “Barney, Barney, Barney!!!” when she was eating it.<\/p>\n

Fine…I'll let Barney take this round for inspiring me to make the Unicorn lava cake for her. *insert eye roll*<\/p>\n

Instant Pot Unicorn Lava Cake Recipe<\/h3>\n

I hope you enjoy making this Unicorn lava cake! Yes, Angela enjoyed it, but I know that many of you will enjoy making this for your children.<\/p>\n

They'll be sure to eat it up with a great big smile.<\/p>\n

You can easily add ice cream with colored sprinkles to add an even more delightful and colorful scene for your child (or you) to eat.<\/p>\n
