ΒΌ tsp. sea salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Grease a 6 cup Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat together granulated sugar, yogurt, butter, egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest with a hand mixer until smooth.
Add the dry ingredients (first bowl) to the wet ingredients (second bowl) and mix with a hand mixer until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Lay a paper towel over the top of the pan, then cover the paper towel and pan loosely with aluminum foil.
Pour water into your Instant Pot and place the trivet.
Put your pan onto the trivet and cook at HIGH pressure for 40 minutes.
When cooking time ends, wait for a natural pressure release.
Open the lid and wait for the cake to be completely cool before removing it from the pan.
