What Size Bundt Pan Fits in the Instant Pot?

What size bundt pan fits into your Instant Pot will differ depending on the make and model, however, under most circumstances, a 6 inch bundt pan fits best in the inner pot of the Instant Pot.

Can I Bake This Guinness Bundt Cake in the Oven?

If you prefer to make this Guinness Bundt Cake in the oven rather than in the Instant Pot, you certainly can. Make the batter the same as you would when making this cake in the Instant Pot. You will bake the cake in the same size pan for 40 minutes at 350 degrees. This will give a delicious and moist cake, just like you get with the Instant Pot. You will then prepare the glaze and finish the recipe the same.
