Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup frozen and grated shortening
  • 1/2 cup grated carrots
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, molasses, and eggs until blended. Add flour, allspice, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt; stir gently until just combined. Fold in grated shortening, grated carrots, raisins, nuts, and bread crumbs.
  2. Spray a half-sized bundt pan with non-stick spray and fill it with the batter. Cover tightly with foil; poke a hole in the middle to allow steam to escape.
  3. Set up your pressure cooker by adding water and placing the trivet inside. Carefully lower the bundt pan into the pressure cooker using a foil sling.
  4. Lock the lid and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes. Once done, let the pressure release naturally.
  5. Carefully remove the bundt pan using the sling and cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before unmolding.
  6. For the sauce: Melt butter with brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat; stir in heavy cream, Vanilla Extract, and cinnamon until thickened.
  7. Serve slices warm with drizzled sauce for added flavor.
