Ingredients

For the cake:
  • 1 box lemon cake mix, plus ingredients required for the cake mix
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 2 TBS lemon zest
For the frosting
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 5 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon juiced)
  • ½ teaspoon melted butter
  • 1 TBS lemon zest

Instructions

For frosting:

Notes

  • Use your favorite box cake brand that has lemon cake. Use ½ cup orange juice in place of the full amount of water. 
  • Do NOT overfill the nonstick 7 inch bundt pan or you will have a major mess on your hands.
  • Use a removable steam rack inside your Instant Pot. A removable steam rack has handles that allows you to pull the pan out on the rack, making it super easy to remove. I like this silicone removable steam rack. 
  • I have a 6qt. Instant Pot that I use, but you could also use the 8qt. Instant pot. I suggest the 8 quart instant pot if you have a bigger family.
