Apple Pumpkin Bundt Cake in the Instant Pot

Ingredients to Make Apple Pumpkin Bundt Cake

1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp pie spice
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (not powdered sugar)
2 eggs, room temp
1/2 cups vegetable oil
1/4 cups apple cider

How to Make Pressure Cooker Apple with Pumpkin Bundt Cake

Lightly coat your IP-sized bundt cake pan (or, alternatively your springform pan if you don’t have a bundt cake pan) with cooking spray and set aside.

In a medium bowl whisk together your flour and baking soda.

On low speed, mix your pumpkin, cinnamon, sugar, eggs, oil, apple cider and pie spice.

Add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients in 1/3 increments, while continuing to mix on low speed.

Add diced apples and stir by hand to combine.

Pour 1/2 of your batter into the prepared baking pan.

Cover the bundt pan with aluminum foil.

Place a trivet inside your Instant Pot and add 2 cups of water in the bottom of the Instant Pot.

Remember, the liquid in the IP is a must. This is what helps cook whatever you are cooking in the pressure cooker. It boils that water up to over 120 degrees Celsius to cook the food incredibly fast.

Put lid on and set to manual and set it for high pressure for 25 minutes.

Natural pressure release.

Allow the cake to cool completely before turning it out on a plate.

Top this pumpkin cake recipe with a simple cream cheese frosting, brown sugar or crushed walnuts.

How Long Does Instant Pot Pumpkin Cake Last?

We eat our Instant Pot Apple Pumpkin Bundt cake up pretty fast, but, this lasts for about 3-5 days on the counter in an airtight container. But the honest truth is, if you’re going to keep this apple cake around for longer, you probably want to put in in the refrigerator.

Keeping it chilled will keep the cake good for 12-14 days, as long as you keep it in an airtight container.

What if you want it to last even longer, you ask?

Can You Freeze Instant Pot Apple Cake?

If you want to make your cake well ahead of a holiday event, you can definitely freeze it. It will defrost easily and be just as bouncy and yummy as it was on day one. And, in the freezer, this apple pumpkin cake is going to last anywhere between 3-5 months. Plenty of time.
