Rice cooker cake

This rice cooker cake is cooked in your rice cooker. Yes, that's right - rice cooker! It looks like a golden buttery cake, uses pancake batter and is so easy that you can get the kids to help you whip it up. What's not to love?

Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-raising flour

    (300g)

  • 2 tbsp white sugar

  • 2 eggs

    lightly beaten

  • 1 cup milk

    (375ml)

Equipment

  • 1 rice cooker
  • 1 bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 skewer

Instructions

  1. Place flour, sugar and eggs into a bowl and whisk together while adding milk at a little at a time until all ingredients are incorporated.
  2. Pour cake mixture into the bowl of a rice cooker and set the rice cooker to cook. If you have an automatic rice cooker, you may need to push the button down 2-3 times until your cake is cooked.
  3. Cook until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean or the cake has a smooth, dry surface. This should take around 20-25 minutes.
  4. Slice and serve with berries and ice cream or maple syrup.

Notes

Tip
Don't open the lid of the rice cooker while this is cooking. It is just like opening the oven when you are cooking a cake. It lets all of the heat out.
Tip
Most rice cookers have a non-stick coating but if yours does not then you need to give it a spray of cooking oil before you pour in the batter.
Tip
A very simple rice cooker may need to be set to cook twice, which takes about 20-25 minutes.
Variation
Serve with berries and ice cream or maple syrup.
Variation
Add pureed blueberries to the batter for a purple hue.
Variation
Mix in chocolate chips for a gooey, melty treat.
Variation
Add mixed berries to the batter to make a spotty pancake cake.
