Tips for Making Cake in Instant Pot 

There are several things you need to think about when you make a cake in your instant pot.

First of all, you need to make sure that you’re using a pan that fits inside of the instant pot. The other thing is you want to make sure to use the trivet that belongs to the instant pot. When you pour the liquid into the instant pot, you need to make sure not to get any of it on the cake. It’s also important to add aluminum foil on top of your cake to ensure that water does condensate on top of the cake.

If you do all of these things, most likely, your cake is going to turn out delicious every time. 

Variations To Recipe

There are several things you can do to this mint chip bundt cake recipe if you want to. It’s super versatile, so it allows you the freedom of doing a lot of different options. 

• White chocolate -I love adding white chocolate anything mint related. It tastes really good, and it also adds another bit of flavor depth that you just can’t resist. Add a half a cup of white chocolate chips or crushed white chocolate to add some extra pizzazz to this mint chocolate cake. 
• Crushed mint Oreos -it’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of mint Oreos. You can easily crush up a few and add them to the top of the finished cake. 
• Crushed nuts -you can also add your favorite crushed nuts to the top and sides of the finished cake. We especially love walnuts and pecans for this recipe. 

Why Is My Cake Soggy On Top?

If the top of your instant pot mint chip bundt cake ends up soggy, that means that you need to make sure to tighten the aluminum foil that you placed on top. If the aluminum foil is not tightly around your cake pan, then it allows water to seep in around the cake, and the result will be a mushy or soggy cake. 

Can You Freeze Leftover Cake

Yes, you can easily freeze leftover cake if you want to. You can either slice it into individual pieces or save the entire cake in one piece. Just keep it in an airtight container and stored in the freezer for up to three months. 

How to Store 

You can either store the cake at room temperature, or you can store the instant pot but cake in the refrigerator. Either way, the instant pot bundt cake will last up to four days at room temperature or in the fridge. 

Ingredients

• Box french vanilla cake mix
• Eggs
• Water
• Vegetable oil
• 3 drops mint green food coloring
• Pure mint extract
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Chocolate Ganache

• Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Heavy whipping cream

How to Make Instant Pot Bundt Cake

Step 1: First, you will need to combine the vanilla cake mix, eggs, water, oil, mint extract, and mint green food coloring in a large bowl. Combine until you have a batter. 

Step 2: Gently fold in the chocolate chips into the cake batter. 

Step 3: You will need to grease the bottom and sides of a 7 in bundt pan. Sprinkle some flour and shake it around to cover the entire cake pan. 

Step 4: Pour the cake batter into the bundt cake pan. 

Step 5: Add the water into the inner bowl of the instant pot. Then add the trivet to the instant pot as well. 

Step 6: Be sure to tightly cover the bundt cake pan with aluminum foil. Then, you will need to form a swing or use a silicone sling to gently lower the bundt cake pan into the instant pot. 

Step 7: Add the lid to the instant pot and seal it. Cook the cake on high pressure for 35 minutes then do a quick release. 

Step 8: Place the cake pan on a cooling rack for 30 to 60 minutes or until it has cooled completely. Then take a knife and lightly go around the edges of the cake pan to ensure that the cake does not stick to the pan. 

Step 9: Prepare the chocolate ganache by heating up the heavy whipping cream until it has begun to boil slightly.

Step 10: Add the chocolate chips to a heat-safe bowl. Then gently pour the heavy whipping cream over the top of the chocolate chips. Let them sit for a few moments then stir with a whisk. Pour the homemade chocolate ganache over the top of the cake and enjoy!
