So with summer, I’ll confess I’ve been outside grilling a whole lot more than inside cooking…or baking. But the kids? They want to bake, cook, etc. The Instant Pot we love so much all year round has been almost neglected of late, and we thought we’d try something new in it. That’s where this lemon dump cake recipe came from- a little of the kids asking, and a little of the need to give our IP some loving. Fall sports begin Monday, so we’re jumping back into the chaos of the new school year schedule with both feet before school even starts. The IP will be in frequent use to keep our dinner routines on schedule for sure! Try our Instant Pot French Dip Sandwiches , BBQ Pulled Pork, Potato Corn Chowder, Cajun Sausage and Rice Dish and our Chicken Chili for some great pressure cooker dinner recipe ideas.
In the meantime, this instant pot dump cake is really easy, just a few ingredients, and so yummy! Surprise the family with it tonight!
