Spring Instant Pot Bundt Cake Recipe

You already know how much I love to make cakes for the holidays. I always want to make something special for Easter because it’s one of my favorite holidays. This year I wanted something that was colorful and had lots of pastel colors because it would look adorable. This instant pot Easter Dessert turned out absolutely perfect! I’m pretty sure you’re going to feel the same way the first time you bite into this moist cake.

In order to save yourself time, it’s wonderful to use cakes that you can start with a box cake mix. While you can always use a homemade cake recipe when you’re in a hurry, a box cake mix tastes just as great if you add some extra ingredients to it. 

Best Food Coloring To Use For Cakes

When you are making this instant pot Easter dessert, you can use any food colorings that you like. I chose to stick with pink and yellow food coloring for this instant pot bundt cake. However, a light blue, light purple, and even a mint green would all be fun and playful pastel colors that are perfect for Easter. 

Can I Change The Theme For Other Holidays?

Yes, you can easily swap out the food coloring and sprinkles to fit your favorite theme. For example, you could go with red pink and white for Valentine’s Day. Or even a red white and blue theme for Fourth of July. 

Does Bundt Cake Need to Be Refrigerated

No, you do not have to refrigerate this bundt cake if you don’t want to. I like to refrigerate it because I prefer to eat it when it has been chilled. However, that is not a requirement that is just a personal preference. You can store the bundt cake on the countertop for up to three days or in the refrigerator for up to four days. 

Can You Freeze Leftover Cake 

Yes, you can easily freeze this leftover bundt cake. First, you’ll need to wrap up the bundt cake in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. After the cake has been wrapped, you can place it inside of a freezer-safe food container. The leftover instant pot bundt cake will last for up to three months in the freezer. You can enjoy the cake frozen, or you can place it in the refrigerator overnight to thaw it out before serving. 

Ingredient

Amazingly, all you need is seven ingredients to whip up this instant pot cake. Some of the ingredients are optional and can quickly and easily be adjusted to fit your needs. The food coloring, frosting, and colored sprinkles can all be changed depending on what holiday you are making this cake for. 

• Box french vanilla cake mix -I prefer the flavor of French vanilla cake, but you could also use a white cake or yellow cake if you prefer. 
• Eggs
• Water
• Vegetable oil
• Pink and Yellow food coloring – Feel free to adjust the food coloring based on whatever colors you have on hand or what you prefer. 
• 1 container of whipped white frosting -I usually use store-bought frosting; however, you could also make your own homemade frosting if you like. 
• Spring colored sprinkles -Any sprinkles will work beautifully with this instant pot cake.
