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! ☺
