Angela,
Love your easy recipe with simple ingredients. I made two 7″ round pan of turnip cake in my 8-qt IP and they turned out great. I made some minor adjustments due to my first test run turned out to be a little under cooked and the inner pot was almost dry. The changes I made are adding 2-1/2 cups water to inner pot and cooked in high pressure for 16 minutes instead of 12. THUMBS UP on you recipes – THANK YOU!
I’m glad it worked out for you. Happy cooking!
