CakeI put all of the ingredients that it says on the back of a box of cake mix into the rice cooker. (Mix,Water,Oil and Eggs) then I mix it up. Then I put 4 med. scoops of frosting from the plastic can on top. I put the two lids on and put in microwave 9 min.
I tried inverting it onto a plate and don't like it as much. But you can do that if you like. It is a little bit drier. Also I didn't think it was very pretty. Oh honestly I thought it was ugly. I just scoop pieces out of the pan and what happens is the pieces kind of roll in the melted frosting and are almost totally covered with a rich sauce. If I serve with ice cream I spoon some sauce over that too. Very decadent! And if you garnish with a bit of fresh mint and a raspberry, very pretty.
