Fluffy vanilla pound cake topped with a sweet mango coconut glaze – this Instant Pot Mango Coconut Bundt Cake is a delicious tropical treat!
Instant Pot Mango Cake
I’ve always loved pound cake, and this mango coconut cake is a unique twist on a classic vanilla bundt cake recipe!
The glaze is what really makes this cake special โ it soaks into the freshly baked cake so every bite is just bursting with tropical mango and coconut flavor!
There won’t be a single dry bit in this bundt cake!! It’s super moist and incredibly flavorful, thanks to the amazing fruit glaze and the technique of baking cake in an Instant Pot!
If you’re looking for a summery treat to make for a special occasion or backyard barbecue that no one has tried yet, this is the cake for you! It’s absolutely delicious and easy to make too!

Tips for Baking a Cake in an Instant Pot
- Cover your bundt pan tightly with foil before baking to prevent condensation on top of cake. When left unwrapped, steam can cause the cake to get a bit soggy.
- Be sure to allow the cake to cool in the pan for a bit before flipping onto a cooling rack. Give the pan a good wiggle to loosen it up first before flipping. You’ll feel when the cake releases from the sides of the pan and is ready to flip.
What Pan Should I Use to Bake a Bundt Cake in the Instant Pot?
Instant Pot sells an official Instant Pot Bundt Pan, so that makes it super easy to ensure you have the right tools for the job!
However, you should be able to use any 7″ fluted cake pan — most of them will note that they can be used in the Instant Pot if that is the case.
Can I Add Fruit to the Cake Itself?
We’ve tried it both ways: adding fruit to the cake before baking and just adding fruit to the glaze.
The reason we don’t add fruit to the cake is that even when it is pureed, the fruit is denser than the cake batter, and sinks to the bottom of the pan while baking. It still tastes delicious, but when the bottom of the pan (top of the cake) is mostly fruit, it tends to fall apart when removing it from the pan.
By adding the fruit to the glaze and topping the cake while it is still slightly warm, the glaze soaks into the cake. That way the cake is already perfect and keeps it shape, and the fruit flavor still gets infused inside!
