- 12 maraschino cherries
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 2 tsp milk

Direction
- In a medium bowl, mix together cake mix, soda, oil, eggs and syrup until well-blended and uniform. Fold in maraschino cherries.
- Coat the insides of 6 heart molds with nonstick spray (or you can use silicone baking cups).
- Divide batter evenly between molds and seal each with aluminum foil.
- Pour one cup of water in the Instant Pot and insert the steam rack. Carefully lower the molds on to the steam rack--3 on top, 3 on bottom, staggering the layers.
- Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
- Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 15 minutes.
- When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
- Carefully remove the molds from the pot to a wire rack. Remove foil and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar and enough milk to form a thick but pourable icing
- Remove the cakes from the mold and drizzle icing into the heart-shaped depression in the top of the cakes. Top each cake with an additional cherry.
