Boxed Cake Mix

By duckieq

You can make this as 2 small separate cakes or as a layer cake.
*I've also made this in a 6 cup bundt pan using all of the cake batter at once. I increased the cook time to 40 mins. The cake rose a little over the top of the pan when cooked so it didn't really have a flat bottom when plated, but it cooked just fine.

Ingredients

• For the Frosting:
• 1 Boxed Cake Mix (15.25 oz)*
• 1 cup Chocolate Chips (optional)You are here: Home / Recipes / Dessert / Apple Butter
• 5 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup confectioners sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

*Prepare the Cake Mix following the directions on the box.
Add in optional chocolate chips if using.
Divide batter into 2 bowls.
Spray a 7" pan with non-stick spray (I used a spring form pan)
Pour half the batter into the pan.
Loosely cover pan with foil.
Place trivet & 1 cup of water into Instant Pot.
Lower cake into pot using a foil sling.
Put on lid & seal vent; Cook on Manual/High for 30 minutes.
Do a 15 minute Natural Pressure Release, then release any remaining pressure.
Check cake with toothpick to make sure it's done. (cook a few more minutes if needed)
Remove cake from pot & let cool on wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from pan.
Repeat with remaining cake batter.


To make the frosting, beat together cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Sift the confectioners sugar and cinnamon over the cream cheese mixture, and beat to thoroughly combine. Spread frosting over top of the cooled cake, and enjoy!
