How to Make an Instant Pot Pumpkin Bundt Cake
Spray the inside of your instant pot bundt cake with Pan and set aside.
Whisk together the flour pumpkin pie spice and baking soda in a mixing bowl until combined.
Beat together the butter and sugar in a larger mixing bowl until light and fluffy then, beat in your egg and vanilla until combined.

For 10 minutes, allow the instant pot to naturally release.

Gently remove from the trivet and set onto the counter to cool thoroughly.
Carefully put the cream cheese on top of the pumpkin bundt cake.
How Much Water Do I Add to the Instant Pot?
The amount of water your need to add in to your Instant Pot is 1 cup. The water is what allows the Instant Pot to pressurize. And the Trivet is used to keep your cake out of the water when its in the pot.
Does This Cake Need Icing?
This cake will definitely need the cream cheese frosting. The frosting is sweet and tangy and full of flavor. The flavor is what goes perfectly with the Instant Pot Pumpkin Cake.
