Can a bundt pan be used . Time adjustment?
I mean – with pressurization time, cook time, and natural release time, this actually takes longer than in the oven, for a relatively small cake – no? Am i missing something? Is the quality of the cake itself better, making it worth it? I might try it just as an experiment, so I’m confident in it, in case the oven is in use (nice to have the option). But is it really faster?
Hi Dave
You are right it’s not that faster, but it’s a great alternative for someone who doesn’t have an oven or don’t want to use it.
Thank you
