Instant Pot Pumpkin Spice Cake Recipe

This Instant Pot Pumpkin Spice Cake is the perfect, small yield cake for the cooler months!

If you’re as excited about Fall arriving as I am, and you love your Instant Pot, then this is the cake for you. I’ve been dreaming of autumn since June when the weather starts to get unbearable in these parts. We had a triple digit June this year and I was not happy about it.

So by the end of last month, I was drinking my first pumpkin spice latte hoping that I could will autumn into existence by shear mental force. But the thought of heating up my oven was unacceptable. So instead, I took out my Instant Pot. (This is not a paid promotion. I just love my Instant Pot!)

This Cake:

• Has real pumpkin in it. Not just the spice.
• Is a bit on the dense side, which really works here.
• Is best eaten soon after being made.
• Pairs well with either regular or coconut whipped cream.
• Is perfect with coffee.
• Would probably be amazing with a pumpkin spice latte.

Note that you’ll want to enjoy this pretty quickly. It tends to dry out by the next day. So if you really need to store some of it, be sure you wrap it really well with plastic wrap and THEN put it in an air-tight container with a locking lid. This is really more of an “enjoy it the day you make it” kind of cake.
