This recipe uses only a few simple ingredients and is done in what seems like no time. Save your time this holiday by making this delicious dessert for get togethers, parties and celebrations. It will be a new holiday tradition you won’t be able to wait to participate in each year.

This recipe calls for dark brown sugar. You will want to make sure you do not substitute this as it is what provides this cake’s rich, deep flavor.
Grease and flour your 6 cup bundt cake pan.
Combine butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer or a stand mixer to beat the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add in your molasses to the mixture and stir until very well combined.
Add egg and vanilla extract into the mixture and stir it well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until completely combined. I like to do this by mixing ½ a cup of dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, until fully combined.
Stir in your boiling water until your ingredients are well combined and smooth. Pour the mixture into your Bundt cake pan and smooth it out so the batter is level.
Loosely cover your pan with a piece of paper towel and then a piece of aluminum foil.
Place trivet into your instant pot and add 1.5 cups of water. Place you cake pan on the trivet.
Close your lid and set it to the sealing position. Cook at manual high pressure for an hour. If you have a newer instant pot mode, you will need to set it to pressure cook.
When the timer is up, allow for a 10-minute natural pressure release. Allow cake to cool in a pan.
Once the cake has cooled, you can top it with the glaze if desired.
