TIPS AND FAQS
Pam Baking Spray works better than original Pam spray for this recipe. If you wish to use something different, you can grease your bundt pan with butter and then lightly flour to prevent sticking.
Make sure that you tightly cover your bundt pan with foil, you do not want moisture to get into your Pumpkin Bundt Cake.
Store your cake on the counter in an airtight container for up to 5 days. I do not recommend refrigatoring your cake as it can dry it out.

My instant pot isn’t big enough for a Bundt pan. What temperature and for how long would this cook in a traditional oven?
Bake at 325 for about 45 minutes be sure to check it with toothpick as it may need a longer amount of time depending on your oven.
