In an attempt to make a delicious Instant Pot Cake recipe without dirtying my entire kitchen, I came up with a delicious Apple Spice Cake recipe. This recipe is not at all keto or low carb but what it’s lacking in low carb greatness, it makes up for in flavor. I made this by just using a quick ready muffin mix.
What Is The Cake Setting On The Instant Pot?
The cake setting on the Instant Pot is simply a preset on the electric pressure cooker that has a customized time and pressure setting. Not all Instant Pots have this setting, so don’t panic if yours doesn’t have it. The great news is that you won’t even need the cake setting on your Instant Pot to make this Instant Pot Cake recipe! You’ll cook this Apple Spice Cake recipe under high pressure instead.
Can I Bake In My Instant Pot?
I don’t know that I would technically call it baking since your cake isn’t being cooked under a heating element as you would in a traditional oven. Nonetheless, you are still cooking a delicious cake in your Instant Pot, so I won’t be picky about what you call it and I doubt anyone that gets to eat it will either!
Are Cakes In The Instant Pot Good?
In my opinion, yes. The texture of an Instant Pot Cake is slightly more dense than a cake baked in the oven because it is cooked under pressure without additional air circulation to keep it light and fluffy. I like the change in texture because it makes this Apple Spice Cake seem more decadent.
