You guys are going to love this instant pot gluten-free pineapple upside down cake!

The pudding in this instant pot gluten-free pineapple upside down cake makes it a bit more done in a lot more moist. I’m not a huge dry cake fan so unless it’s a toffee or pudding cake, I probably won’t be eating it.

You guys I have been loving my instant pot! It’s amazing how you can cook almost anything in it in a fraction of the time that it takes to bake. For a long time I debated on which one I wanted to get but finally decided on the nine in one so I had all the features available to me.

I will say that I wish I would’ve gotten the 8 quart instead of just the 6 quart. It would have just been a much better choice for my large family. 

Cooking up meat and soups was a no-brainer but I was excited to try some desserts as well. Since pineapple upside down cake is my absolute favorite, I knew this would be the one to try.

The cakes definitely come out more moist and without the crispy crust but I don’t mind. I used a 5 quart glass Pyrex bowl for making this cake so the recipe actually makes two.Notes for this Instant Pot Pineapple Upside Down Cake

• Any gluten-free cake mix will work. However, I like the gluten-free betty crocker cake mix or Bob’s Red Mill brands.
• Be sure to let the cake sit for 10 minutes before you remove it from the pan so the crust has time to crystalize. Otherwise it will be too runny like you see in my video. 😉
• If you’d like to exchange the brown sugar for coconut sugar you can.
