Creamy Strawberry Heaven

When I was testing out flavors for my cake series, I knew I definitely wanted to do a strawberry one. I don’t know what it is about strawberries, but they take me back to my childhood. Maybe it’s that delicious strawberry sauce my mom used to make!

Strawberries were not easy to come by in Honduras when I was growing up. I remember there was a man that would come to our house from quite far every so often to sell my mom strawberries. He carried them in paper sacks by the pound. Every time we’d buy them, she’d make this amazing strawberry sauce we’d use to top ice cream and crepes. It was so good! I’ll have to ask her how she makes it so I can share it with you soon!

Essential Equipment

  • instant pot
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients

for the Cake

for the Glaze

Instructions

make the Cake

  • Add the strawberry spreadable fruit, heavy whipping cream and egg to a mixing bowl and mix together thoroughly with a whisk.
  • Fold the strawberry cake mix and baking powder into the wet ingredients with a spatula. Make sure to use ONLY 1 CUP of cake mix and do not use a whisk or an electric mixer for this part. Be careful not to over mix. You want the batter to remain somewhat lumpy.
  • Spray a small 6″ x 2″ cake pan or 3 cup bundt pan with the cooking spray and pour the cake batter into the pan.
  • Tightly cover the cake pan with aluminum foil.
  • Add 2 cups of water to the Instant Pot and place the cake pan in the Instant Pot on the trivet.
  • Set the Instant Pot on ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’, High Pressure for 40 minutes.
  • Once the cook time has completed, allow for a 15 minute NPR (natural pressure release).
  • After the pressure has been released and the pin has dropped, open the pot and carefully remove the cake from the pot.
  • Remove the foil from the cake pan, then place the cake on a cooling rack and allow the cake to cool.
  • After the cake has cooled, pour the glaze over the top of the cake to fully cover.

make the Glaze

  • Sift the 1/2 cup of confectioners powdered sugar into a mixing bowl, add the tablespoon of heavy whipping cream and tablespoon of water and mix until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Tips & Tricks

Replace the glaze with cream cheese frosting. Yes! Cream cheese frosting is so amazing on this cake. So, if you want to make your own or buy a premade frosting, go for it!

Experiment with flavors. Try something different. Even though this recipe uses strawberry flavored cake mix and strawberry fruit spread, there is no reason that you can’t change things up. Try other flavors of cake mix and add different flavored fruit preserves or fruit filling. Your cake will come out great as long as you stick to the same measurements given in the recipe.

Serving Suggestions

Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This cake tastes extra amazing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Serve with an afternoon tea. Invite a few friends over for an afternoon tea and serve this strawberry cake – they’ll love it!

9 thoughts on “Strawberries and Cream Instant Pot Cake”

  1. I am on my way to the store to get the ingredients today. I hate the thought of having a partially used cake mix setting in the pantry. Could I buy a yellow cake and add strawberry extract or lemon to make both of your yummy cakes?

    Also, how important is the heavy cream? I hate to have an opened container left in the fridge.

    1. Valerie Cooper

      Hi Sandy! Ok, here’s a couple thoughts and ideas for you. You can leave the heavy cream out, and instead add 1 whole
      Cup of the strawberry filling. For the glaze, omit the cream and make a regular glaze (1 tbs water). As far as using yellow cake, you can certainly try! You can make two or three of these as well, they are quite tiny. Hope this all helps!! Let me know how it goes!

  2. I made this tonight, and we loved it! I used strawberry fruit filling, because I didn’t read the recipe carefully before we went to the grocery store. It rose nicely, and almost had the texture of a bread pudding. It’s definitely one that I will make again!

    1. Hi Alana! So happy you loved it!! My kids go through it so quickly when I make it! Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your results!
