A moist, tender British style steamed pudding rich with warm spices and served with a buttery spiced rum sauce. <\/em><\/p>\n

This is my Grandmother Hales’ recipe. My step-mom got the recipe from my grandmother and started making it because my dad loved it. My sister has fond memories of my step-mother serving this\u00a0cake, and asked me if I could\u00a0convert it to a pressure cooker recipe.<\/p>\n

I was a picky little eater when I was young and I don’t remember eating this pudding\/cake as a little girl. My guess is I saw there were carrots in it and wouldn’t even give a try.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Steamed<\/p>\n

The original recipe included\u00a0suet<\/a> as an ingredient. Suet is very traditional in British steamed puddings, but not a common ingredient in American supermarkets. Although you can get suet from the butcher, it’s generally something you have to pre-order and I decided not to use it in this recipe.<\/p>\n

Several sites online suggested substituting frozen grated shortening for suet in recipes. So I changed the recipe to use\u00a0all shortening instead of shortening and suet.<\/p>\n

The original recipe called for walnuts, but I’m not a walnut lover, so I substituted pecans. Feel free to use whichever one you’d prefer.<\/p>\n

Making\u00a0Steamed Carrot Pudding Cake in an Instant Pot<\/p>\n

An Instant Pot is one of the most popular brands of electric pressure cookers. They are easy to use and your Instant Pot can help you create these delicious Steamed Carrot Pudding Cake!<\/div>\n

My grandma and step mom often steamed the pudding in a coffee can. I decided to use my half size, 6 cup Bundt Pan<\/a>\u00a0so it would be in a pretty shape. The bundt pan shape also helps cook from the inside out too.<\/p>\n

They usually served the pudding with a\u00a0rum or lemon sauce. On my recent trip to the Caribbean island of Tortola, our hotel, left\u00a0a welcome bottle of rum in our room.\u00a0I decided to bring the rum home, and made a luscious buttery spiced rum sauce to serve with the pudding.<\/p>\n

I think my sister is going to love this quick pressure cooker version of this old fashioned carrot pudding.<\/p>\n
