Instant Pot Cake

Well I tested out the "Cake" feature of my #InstantPot. Of course I can't make a huge cake in it, but smaller cakes are not a bad thing where I am concerned! HA 😂 

Anyway I was a skeptic as to whether I could make a cake in this Instant Pot or not. But I actually did! And it was pretty good! It didn't have the same texture as a "baked" cake, it was a bit more dense, closer to a brownie type texture, but just as flavorful all the same!

So for anyone with an Instant Pot that may want to try making a cake in yours, here is the recipe. 

Instant Pot Cake

Ingredients:

1 (15.25 oz ) Boxed Cake Mix 

Frosting of your choice

Directions:

Prepare the Cake Mix as per directions on the box.

Divide batter into 2 bowls.

Spray a pan with non-stick spray (I used a ceramic "oven safe" pan) Size dependant on the size of your Instant Pot.

Pour half the batter into the pan.

Loosely cover pan with foil.

Place trivet & 1 cup of water into Instant Pot.

Lower cake into pot.

Put on lid & seal vent; Press the cake button setting or the Manual/High for 30 minutes. ( Depending on which Instant Pot you own. Mine has the cake setting. )

After the 30 minutes is up do a 15 minute Natural Pressure Release, then release any remaining pressure.

Check cake with toothpick to make sure it's done. 

Remove cake from pot & let cool on wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from pan.

Repeat with remaining cake batter.

Frost cake as desired.

Enjoy! ☺
