Hi Sherry – Correct, you fold the coconut into the batter. I’ve updated the recipe card. Unsweetened coconut will be fine in the cake but I’m not sure about the topping. Let me know how it goes.

In reply to Gloria Crawford. Hi Gloria - did you do a natural pressure release for 10 minutes at the end? I found that if I quick release the cake it shrinks up. Also, the Max does cook at a higher psi so you may need to reduce your cook times.

I made this cake on Easter. I feel that I followed the recipe perfectly. I cooked it in an Instant Pot Max. I had all the equipment needed. But, my cake turned out very dense and small, not fluffy at all. It appeared as if it didn’t even raise. Any thoughts?

In reply to Glinda. I went ahead and made the cake a day before serving it and kept it on the counter in a cake plate. It was fine although I don’t think the left overs would keep too long. The cake was delicious - moist and had a great coconut flavor!

I now noticed you show a 1/4 cup of coconut in the cake, but don’t say to add it. I folded mine into the batter. Now I’m baking it. I also noticed muy coconut is unsweetened. I’m hoping that is ok.

Adorable cake – I can’t wait to make it! Can it be made the day before serving? If so, how what is the best way to store it? Covered and on the counter or would it need to be refrigerated overnight? Thanks!

In reply to Ellen E. Wright.

Hi Ellen – sure you can bake it in the oven instead. Double all of the ingredients for a regular-sized 12 cup bundt. Here’s a from scratch version https://www.barbarabakes.com/best-ever-coconut-bundt-cake/ that bakes for 50 minutes. I assume the time would be similar for this cake doubled but keep an eye on it. Enjoy!

Can this sweet cake possibly be made in a regular-sized bunt pan, in the oven? I don’t have an instant pot, and I recently sold my pressure cooker! One would use the entire cake mix, I assume. Modify any of the other ingredients? Thanks!

I’ll be making a few of these cakes. Easy to share. Thank you.
