Instant Pot 2-Ingredient 7-Up or Sprite Lemon Cake

Sharing is caring!

Serve up a tasty and easy Instant Pot 2 Ingredient Lemon 7-up Cake. You have a 7-up cake (or a Sprite cake!) that you steam right in your pressure cooker.

An easy lemon cake recipe that is full of lemon flavor in every bite.

If you enjoy lemon desserts, this simple lemon cake will hit the spot. I am a sucker for lemon, and the Instant Pot gives a very light and delicate texture to the cake.

7-up and lemon cake are two things that you need. It takes minutes to whip up, and then place right in your Instant Pot and let it do all the work.

If you love desserts, lemon desserts to be exact, then you will enjoy this cake. I wanted to create something that was simple to make, few ingredients and tasty.

Cake Making Supplies

You can use a bunt pan if you have one, or use a cheesecake push pan.

• 6-inch by 3-inch Push Pan or 7-inch by 3-inch Push Pan- I recently started using a high push pan instead of a spring-form pan. In my opinion, the cheesecake looks amazing this way.
• Silicone Sling- This is essential unless you want to make a sling out of foil every time you make a cheesecake or use a pan in the Instant Pot that needs to be lifted out.
• Large Decorating Tips- I used a decorating tip and reusable icing bag to pipe frosting onto the top of the cake. It gives the cake a prettier, more professional style.
• Reusable Decorating Bag- Do yourself a favor and invest in a nice reusable bag for decorating cakes and cupcakes. It works so much better than disposable bags and is better for the environment. Even better, they are pretty inexpensive.
• Parchment Rounds- Pre-cut parchment rounds (and squares) are available in a variety of sizes depending on your needs. This can be a huge time-saver so you don't have to measure and cut a circle out.

How To Make

If you are wanting to make this cake the full recipe is in the printable recipe card below.

But the rundown is you whip up your cake batter. Then pour into your Instant Pot safe pan, and add water into your Instant Pot.

Place the trivet in, and then gently lower your cake in the pressure cooker with a sling. Then cook accordingly.

How To Store

Once your cake has cooled down you will want to store it in an airtight container. You can store the cake on the counter at room temperature or in the fridge.

Both ways to store the cake work. If you store it in the fridge you will find it extends the life a day or two extra. Just like any cake, you will find it is best when served fresh.

Variations To Instant Pot Lemon Cake

• Add a lemon glaze on top of the cake. You could then sprinkle on some lemon zest for color and more lemon flavor.
• Consider adding in some blueberries, raspberries or other fruit. Then you will have extra flavor in every single bite.
• Serve with a dollop of fresh whipped cream for added sweetness. I love making a homemade whipped cream for the cake.
• Pair with some vanilla bean ice cream for the ultimate dessert. Give this cake a try and let me know.
