This Instant Pot lemon poppy seed cake is so simple to make and a perfect breakfast or brunch treat! A moist dessert with an added vitamin boost inside too!
This Instant Pot lemon poppy seed cake is amazing!! We enjoyed it for breakfast, had it as an afternoon snack, and then enjoyed a slice for dinner that night too! Such a simple recipe that comes out incredibly moist in your Instant Pot! If you’ve never made a dessert inside your fancy pressure cooker it is quite easy if you follow my easy step by step instructions here. I have made many decadent chocolate cakes, brownies, and now this bundt cake and my whole family agrees that they like it more than when I’ve made it in the oven because the moisture is locked in tight making it amazingly moist inside. What’s extra special about this lemon poppy seed bread recipe is that it is given a vitamin BOOST with one little scoop of Vital Proteins….we thank them for sponsoring this post so we can share how to make this with you today! This is definitely one of our favorite dessert Instant Pot recipes.
Here’s how it’s made and how you can throw in some added vitamins and collagen to make it super terrific. 😉
I bet you didn’t know you could “bake” in your Instant Pot did you?? Well I didn’t try for quite some time when I got it at first and just used the pressure cooker function for dinners which I loved because they came out great in little to no time at all. Now that I have a hang of it I know just what to do to make Instant Pot desserts like this one, and just about anything else you’d normally bake in a bundt pan.
These are the basic steps for making Instant Pot lemon poppy seed cake that has an added vitamin boost inside!
- Mix batter as directed
- Include 1/2 a scoop of this Strawberry lemon Collagen Beauty Water mix to your batter and fold together (gives a great added flavor and boosts your cake with vitamins and collagen too)
- Spray your 6 c. bundt pan (this is the size you’ll need to fit, affilitate link)
- Spoon batter until pan is 3/4 full
- Cover with foil
- Use a trivet on the bottom of your Instant Pot and surround with 2 c. of water
- Lower pan with batter on top of trivet
- Close lid and steam valve and set for 25 minutes
- Allow to naturally release
- Lift out and allow to cool
- Flip over on to plate and enjoy or pour melted vanilla frosting on top and enjoy that way too!
Now….why would I add Strawberry Lemon Collagen Beauty Water into my cake you ask?? Well…why not??!! Vital Proteins has many flavors but this one works perfectly with our Instant Pot lemon poppy seed cake because of the lemon and you get all the benefits of a vitamin boost you need to support healthy hair, skin, nails, bone and joint health, digestion, muscle recovery, and more right inside your slice!
Of course it is yummy in a glass of cold water too and gives it a cool lemony strawberry flavor, that is a given. Thinking outside of the box though it is easy to add a scoop to a recipe like this one, or a batch of cupcakes, or a jug of lemonade!
As I’ve gotten older I will say that I need all the help I can get for my hair and nails. After 3 kids, stress, and just the business of life they have definitely paid the price. Even my hair dresser has noticed a difference in the past year of remembering to include collagen in my diet that my hair has thickened and is healthier than ever. THIS is an easy way to get the extra BOOST we all need in just one little scoop and can be used in a multitude of ways like this one……

Hi. Can I make it without the Vital Proteins? This looks delicious. Thank you 🙂
Yes vital proteins just adds to it.
Is cook time 23 minutes or 25? Video and top of recipe say 23 and instructions say 25.
Sorry, I have done it both ways. One will come out a bit more “done” and drier than the other, it is personal preference.
Love this – I have yet to make a cake in my IP but now I want to!
I have to try this recipe! It sounds amazing!
I love how you made this in the instapot! It looks wonderful!
This would be great for breakfast!!
