   To the liner of the instant pot, no need to clean it out, pour in 1 cup water. Then place the cake pan on the trivet that comes with your instant pot and lower it inside of the instant pot. Press the pressure cook button and set to high, then cook for 45 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10-15 minutes then release remaining pressure and open the lid when remaining pressure is released. Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Remove the cake pan and cut into slices.
