  • 1 cup (128g) cassava or all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda

  6. To the Instant Pot add in 1 cup of water and the steaming trivet.

  7. Place the bundt pan on the steaming trivet (no need to cover)

  8. Lock the lid and set the steam release valve to the sealing position.

  11. 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.

  12. Cut into wedges, serve and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

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!
