Easy step by step video to show you how to make Gingerbread Cake in your Instant Pot
Nothing shouts out ‘It’s winter – let’s stay warm and cozy!’ than Gingerbread Cake. I first tried this in my oven when my sister brought this to our family potluck oh so many Christmas’ ago. It was the best smelling and such a great tasting cake. It’s like a gingerbread cookie in cake form. Can’t go wrong, right? Now, I’ve modified the recipe to be perfect for the Instant Pot. Also, don’t forget to add the cup of hot water into your cake batter, if you don’t, it’ll be quite dense and heavy.
