You probably have heard that an Instant Pot makes dinner prep a breeze, but you can also use it to make simple and delicious desserts in a matter of minutes. This Strawberry Dump Cake in the Instant Pot is one of the easiest desserts you can make. We all have limited time these days and this recipe uses some shortcuts help you spend less time in the kitchen.

    This Strawberry Dump Cake in the Instant Pot is such an easy dessert to make. You'll love the strawberry flavor and how quickly it cooks up. #instantpot #dumpcake

    Strawberry Dump Cake in the Instant Pot

    One of the shortcuts of this strawberry dump cake is using a boxed cake mix. Trust me, no one will know the difference.

    ingredients for strawberry dump cake

    In this post, I'll use the terms pressure cooker and Instant Pot interchangeably since Instant Pot is a brand of electronic pressure cookers. For this dump cake recipe you will need a trivet to place in your pressure cooker. This is the trivet I use for my Instant Pot.

    To make this strawberry dump cake in the Instant Pot, you will need a bowl that can be placed in the Instant Pot. I love these round bakeware dishes. They come in a variety of sizes and one will work in your pressure cooker.

    In the bowl you will be using in your Instant Pot, add strawberry pie filling, vanilla extract, and chopped strawberries. Spread evenly.

    Pour the cake mix on top of the strawberry pie mixture.

    Slice the butter and place on top of the cake mix. Next, cover the bowl in foil. Place your trivet in the pressure cooker and place your covered cake bowl on top of that in the Instant Pot.

    Set the Instant Pot to manual high pressure for 10 minutes. Then slow release for 10 minutes and remove the cover.

    Time to prepare the brown oat sugar crumble for the top of the dump cake. When your crumble is ready, carefully remove the strawberry dump cake from pressure cooker using pot holders, and add the crumble to the top.

    Set your oven to broil on high. Place the strawberry dump cake in the oven for 5 minutes.

      I love desserts with fresh strawberries and this looks so easy to make. I just need to but an Instant Pot. I haven't jumped on that bandwagon yet! But I really think I should!

      I have yet to jump on the instant pot but I've been seriously considering it with all the yummy recipes I've been seeing including this one. What a great way to use up some summer strawberries.

      Hello! I don’t have an instant pot but am planning to get one. Does the trivet your reference come with the pot? I can’t find a listing for it for sale. Also, what kind of pot do you put the mixture in to put in the instant pot?
