Ok so this Instant Pot coffee cake came out so good!
Paired with a cup of coffee in the morning and I was ready to go.
So here’s how you make it, well the coffee cake that is. I don’t think I need to show you how to make a pot of coffee.
You can bake this in the oven, but if you have one of these fancy pressure cookers you should try this Instant Pot dessert at home. Baking sweet breads in it makes them incredibly moist. My children and I agree that it is the only way to go really anymore.
Another reason why I love using my Instant Pot is this. When it’s 100 degrees outside I am NOT about to turn on my oven. Sorry. Not happening.

This Instant Pot coffee cake comes out perfectly moist with the little balls of caramel I baked within it.
The picture above is once it is done and taken out of my pressure cooker.
Yes it doesn’t look like a traditional coffee cake right now. Once you flip it upside down though on to a plate, it’s just how you’d envision it. The trick is using this mini bundt pan below and allowing it to FULLY cool inside the pan. This allows it to stiffen up and stay in tact when it is gently flipped over.

- Mix together your brown sugar, chopped or sliced nuts, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl.
- Divide your batter and brown sugar mixture in half now.Spoon in 1/3 of brown sugar mixture into bundt pan, then spoon in 1/2 coffee cake batter
- Spoon in another 1/3 of your brown sugar mixture on top of batter inside your bundt pan.
- Put the remaining 1/2 of your coffee cake batter on top of your brown sugar/pecan sprinkles making sure bundt pan is 3/4 full, no more. Sprinkle remaining brown sugar mix on top.
- Put a piece of paper town across the whole pan, followed by a piece off foil over your bundt pan, then make a sling by rolling up a piece of foil like a bandana and place underneath so there are foil handles on either side to lift it in and out of your Instant Pot.
- Put a trivet inside your Instant Pot.
- Pour 2 c. of water inside your pot
- Lower your bundt pan into your Instant Pot and on top of your trivet.
- Close lid and steam valve.
- Press cake button and adjust to 35 min. Or if you don't have a cake button press pressure, high, fo 35 minutes.
- Allow to naturally release steam completely.
- Carefully lift bundt pan out using foil sling handles.
- Remove foil and paper towel and set on a cooling rack until completely cool. (so it can continue to bake and stiffen up)
- Carefully flip over on to a plate.
- Serve, or slightly melt some frosting and drizzle over the top.
- If not using an Instant Pot, make batter as directed, layer as explained in a regular size bundt pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until slightly firm on top and knife in the middle comes out clean.

Fall really is a great time of year to reflect, spend time with family and friends, and enjoy the holidays together. Having an easy recipe on hand that screams fall and pairs nicely with a nice warm cup of coffee is perfect when I have company coming over or I just want to sit down with my family curled up in my favorite blanket, and watch a movie together.
It’s these times that make me smile. 😉

Loved the blog. Thanks for posting. You got a new fan.
The Typical Mom says
Thanks
Becky says
I made half a recipe and used my 6- cup bundt pan. It was heavenly delight! The only thing I did different is that I didn’t use quite all the brown sugar mixture. It didn’t need it. It was plenty sweet, but not too sweet. The texture was perfect…which is hard to find in IP recipes. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe!
The Typical Mom says
Yay so glad you loved it too!
MarieZ says
So this makes 2 cakes in a 6 cup pan? Double checking a comment
Rose says
Most recipes that call for natural release calls for 10 minutes then quick release the rest of the pressure
The Typical Mom says
I naturally release all the steam for cakes.
Lynn says
Can this recipe be halved for one Bundt Cake?
The Typical Mom says
Yes the only issue would be splitting the eggs but of course you could make just half if you wanted.
Patty says
Can you send me the oven recipe for this?
Thank you
Patty

Rebecca says
Can you use the small angel food cake pan for this? I don’t have the bundt pan.
Tami says
What are Carmel bits and can you share where you get them please? I want to try this recipe so bad!

Tanya Scribano says
Hello, How long does natural release of pressure take?
The Typical Mom says
I haven’t timed it but maybe about 5 minutes or so.
Jo says
What type of bundt pan did you use in the Instant Pot? Was it metal?
The Typical Mom says
There’s a link above so you can see what I used. It’s a metal 6 cup bundt.
