Instant Pot Bundt Cake Recipe
Bundt cakes are a type of cake typically baked in a round, fluted tube pan, with the shape of the batter being what gives it its name. You can make a bundt cake from any batter, but most people use white or yellow cake mix to create unique flavors. Hilda Rickoff developed the recipe for this particular variety in 1950 after she had trouble getting her traditional pound cakes out of her mold and tried something different instead. The result was a fluffy, moist Bundt Cake!
Bundts are not just for Sunday brunch anymore-these versatile treats make great desserts for dinner parties, too! Make your next party shine by serving up some delicious new recipes!
And the Instant Pot does a fantastic job at perfectly cooking a Bundt Cake up!

Instant Pot Bundt Cake Recipe Tips
- Now mix thoroughly until all ingredients are incorporated. After each mixing stage, scrape down the bowl so you can check for any stray chunks or untouched bits at this point!
- You can glaze this cake with icing by mixing powdered sugar until it reaches the desired consistency, then pour over your banana cake.
- To ensure that every step of the process goes smoothly, always make sure your ingredients (especially butter) are at room temperature before starting.
- Mixing the batter too much will result in harsh and dry banana bread. Just make sure you mix it well enough to combine all ingredients well into one another before baking!
- To avoid the hassle of removing your cake from its pan after baking, grease and flour them first. This will make it much easier for you to detach.
- You may want to let it cool completely with a cake like this before removing the bundt pan. The texture should be knife-slice upon the first touch and soft throughout with no cracks or hard spots when taken out of the Instant Pot; if these things don’t feel right, then give those ten more minutes!
