Make this adorable bundt cake in any size of Instant Pot… Including the 3qt Mini!
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup oil (we used avocado oil)
- juice and zest of 1 small orange or tangerine
- 1/2 tsp orange extract (optional)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup (128g) cassava or all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
In a medium bowl whisk together the egg, applesauce, oil, juice and zest of the orange, orange extract and sugar.
-
In another small bowl stir together the flour, baking soda and salt.
-
Dump the flour mixture into the wet mixture and stir gently just until combined. Do not over-mix.
-
Gently stir in the chocolate chips
-
Grease a 3-cup bundt pan with oil or butter, pour in the batter and spread it out evenly.
-
To the Instant Pot add in 1 cup of water and the steaming trivet.
-
Place the bundt pan on the steaming trivet (no need to cover)
-
Lock the lid and set the steam release valve to the sealing position.
-
Select Pressure Cook (High) and set the cook time to 30 minutes.
-
When cook time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
-
Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes and then invert the cake onto the wire rack to remove it from the pan and cool for another 10 minutes.
-
Cut into wedges, serve and enjoy!
We tested this recipe with both cassava flour and with regular all-purpose flour and they both turned out great!
We also tested this recipe using three teeny 1-cup bundt pans. We cooked them for 22 minutes and they also turned out great!

Hi, all! I made Charity’s great recipe tonight! I probably shouldn’t have used cake flour but I did, and it did turn out ok but the batter was way thinner. All’s well that ends well, though! Thanks for a great recipe! I’ll try this again! Take care and very best wishes to all, including Po!
I made this, but with pecans instead of chocolate chips. It was amazing!!!
