Instant Pot Duo Cake Recipe
Description
If you love the ease of pressure cooking with an Instant Pot, you’ll love how much faster it is to make a delicious cake. This Instant Pot Duo Cake recipe is made with a simple yellow cake mix and is cooked in about half the time it takes to bake in an oven. The result is a moist and fluffy cake that’s sure to be a hit with friends and family. The best part is that you don’t have to heat up your kitchen with a hot oven and you don’t have to worry about your cake burning in the oven.
Prep Time
This Instant Pot Duo Cake recipe is super easy to make and requires minimal prep time. Start by gathering together all of the ingredients you’ll need: a yellow cake mix, eggs, oil, water, and butter. You can also add your own favorite flavorings such as vanilla extract, almond extract, or coconut extract. Once you have all of the ingredients, you’re ready to start prepping the cake.
To prep the cake, start by spraying the inner pot of the Instant Pot with a non-stick cooking spray. Next, mix together the cake mix, eggs, oil, water, and butter in a large bowl until combined. Don’t overmix the batter as this will result in a dense cake. Once the batter is mixed, pour it into the prepared inner pot and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Cook Time
The cook time for this Instant Pot Duo Cake recipe is surprisingly short. Place the lid on the pot and set the steam release valve to the sealing position. Set the Instant Pot to the Cake setting and adjust the time to 25 minutes. Once the cooking time is up, do a quick release of the steam and then open the lid. The cake should be done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once the cake is done, carefully remove the inner pot from the Instant Pot and let it cool on a wire rack. Once the cake has cooled, it’s ready to be served. If desired, you can top the cake with your favorite frosting or serve it plain.
