Instant Pot Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cake

Pumpkin cake and chocolate chips are my favorite flavor combinations! (My husband makes amazing Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins that both the kids and I love!) There’s just something about adding a but of dark chocolate to spicy pumpkin that tastes just heavenly. I look forward to pumpkin season all year!

Baking in the regular oven is an exact science, with little room for error. So for an amateur like me, it can be a little intimidating.

That’s why I’m so excited about this Instant Pot Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cake recipe — it takes the guesswork out of Fall baking! Even better, the Instant Pot doesn’t heat up the whole house like a regular oven (because it’s still super hot outside here in Texas!)

I also love how with this IP Pumpkin Cake you get to unwrap it at the end, like a sweet surprise! It’s a fun and easy way to get into Fall baking with the kids!

This Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake is perfect to make for a little get-together with friends and family, or simply a treat with your morning coffee. Or you can pack a slice in the kids’ lunch boxes for a special midday treat. It’s just right for any occasion!

Happy Fall!
