Spiced Pear and Cranberry Cake in the Instant Pot
I know your mouth is already salivating and you didn’t even see the cake in the Instant Pot yet!
This was double trouble for me. First I made a delicious Hamburger Ginger Soup which was delicious. Then for dessert, I made this delicious spiced pear and cranberry cake in the Instant Pot. I actually had two pots going at once. It sure is nice to have two Instant Pots I tell you!

Our house smelled so delightful today! I have the fall decor out, the windows are clean and the leaves are starting to change just a tad here in the South. We have a nice long season here. Usually, the leaves don’t start “falling” until mid-November. We enjoy the season very much here.

I like to cheat often when making cakes. If I can get away with a box mix and just doctored it up to taste homemade, that is what I will do! I have also mentioned a time or two that Duncan Hines is my favorite cake mix. For this cake, I used a Betty Crocker mix. Although delicious, it wasn’t as moist as Duncan Hines. My husband wants to make french toast tomorrow with this cake. I said GO for it… YUMMY! What a brilliant idea on his part:) He has a few on occasion.

I use my two in one Springform/bundt pan for so many recipes, taco pies, lasagna, desserts, and more. You can find all those recipes in one place HERE

I should have sprinkled a tad of cinnamon on top now that I look at the photo. Oh well, I live in the moment. I couldn’t wait to try it. Sooooo good.
