Easy Pina Colada Cake Recipe
In a large bowl, combine your cherry pie filling and pineapples and stir to combine. Set this aside.
Melt your butter and add it to a bowl along with your butter cake mix. Stir with a fork until combined.
Pour your cake mixture into your baking dish and cover with foil. It will look a bit crumbly.
Pour 2 cups of water into your Instant Pot and lower your cake mix-filled dish onto a trivet.
Put the lid on and close the steam valve.
Set your Instant Pot to manual, high pressure for 25 minutes. Do a natural release.
Let stand for 5-10 minutes so it can firm up.
Cut up your cake and then generously scoop your pineapple cherry mixture over the cake.
Serve topped with ice cream, toasted coconut, and cherries.
ENJOY!
