FAQ:
What is the point of a Bundt cake?
Bundt cakes are fun because they’re unique and pretty looking. They make for a beautiful dessert and are easy to cut and eat. Bundt cakes also tend to be really moist because of how fluffy they are, too! Some people enjoy them without toppings as well but that’s totally up to you and your preference.
Should you refrigerate bundt cake?
When the bundt cake isn’t being eaten, it does need to be stored in the fridge. Then, when you’re ready to eat it, you can just put it out on the counter for a short time and let it get to room temperature. This will make certain that it has the best flavor and taste.
Should you let a bundt cake cool before flipping it?
Yes, for sure! The last thing that you want to have to deal with is to have your bundt cake stuck in the pan. You need to let your bundt pan cool for about 10 minutes before flipping it upside down and removing it.

Ingredients for Pumpkin Bundt Cake:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 sticks 1 cup, salted butter, softened
- 1-1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 package 12 ounces chocolate chips
How To Make Pumpkin Bundt Cake In Your Instant Pot:
First, you will make your batter with just a few of these ingredients.
In a small mixing bowl, add flour, pumpkin pie spice and baking soda. Mix well.
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar on medium high speed until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes) scraping down the bowl every minute or so. Beat in egg and vanilla, then pumpkin puree.
Add half of the flour mixture and beat just until combined. Then add remaining and beat until combined. Finally, fold in chocolate chips.
Next, you will want to grease two small bundt pans with nonstick cooking spray, then pour the batter into the pans. My small bundt pans holds about 2 cups, 16.5 ounces, 1/2 liter or 1/2 quart. Here is the pan I used. I actually grabbed it at Home Goods.
Top with one piece of paper towel and one piece of foil.
Loosely wrap the foil and paper towel around the pan. 
Set the pan onto the instant pot rack. 
Place 1.5 cups of water into the instant pot and place the rack, with the cake, into the pot.
Finally, seal the lid and close the pressure release valve. Set the instant pot to manual, high pressure for 20 minutes. Let the instant pot naturally release pressure for an additional 10 minutes after cooking. Carefully remove the cake, discard the paper towel and foil and let set to cool completely before removing from the pan and serving. Add whipped topping for serving and enjoy!
