I have a host that is requesting a cake that is cooked in the Rice Cooker. The only one I can think of is just a plain cake mix with frosting and cooked in the Micro. Is there any others out there? Have any of you tried this. It sounds very very easy. Please give me your ideas on what to do. She is pregnant and wants LOTS of chocolate at her party.

Thank you in advance for all you ideas. :chef:
 
Heehee (laughing about being pregnant and wanting chocolate!) ;)

My ED shared her Rice Cooker cake with us about a year ago when she came to visit our cluster. Here it is:

Wow that does sound good. What do you cook it in? I don't have the fluted pan, and it sounds like I need to invest in one.
 
I used the micro cooker or rice cooker and cooked in the micro. 10 min- 12 min
have to let sit for a few.

my son ask me this week when I was going to do another ww show. since the recipe ws so good last time he was ready for another trifle. he calls it the layer cake. he's 17 but is very picky I didn't tell them when I brought the left overs home just said there was some cake if they wanted it. The bowl was half full when I got home came back from changing and the thing was gone. Made one with pistachio ( I know it is misspelled) ice cream strawberry cake and cool whipp. They love the color variation
 
Pam,
I'm a little confused about the layer process. If you're pouring the ingredients in layers--then you've mixed the cake mix in a bowl and not the rice cooker itself, correct? I'm a visual person and am not seeing the steps in your recipe. Would love to get it right the first time I test it! Many thanks!
 
I make rice cooker "molten chocolate lava" cakes all the time:

Mix cake mix according to directions in Rice Cooker.

Scoop 6-7 small scoops of frosting on top.

Put on lid. Micro for 8 - 10 min.

Flip onto large dinner plate

ChocolateIf you truly want chocolate try the warm nutty carmel brownies. 5 packages Rolo can't be bad:love: I have made this before and it was a show stopper.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I really bake a cake in a rice cooker?

Yes, you can bake a cake in a rice cooker! Rice cookers are versatile appliances that can be used for more than just cooking rice. They provide even heat and moisture, making them suitable for baking cakes.

What types of cake recipes work best in a rice cooker?

Simple recipes like sponge cakes, chocolate cakes, and even mug cakes work well in a rice cooker. It's best to use recipes that have a batter consistency rather than those that require a lot of mixing or folding.

How long does it take to bake a cake in a rice cooker?

The baking time can vary depending on the recipe and the rice cooker model, but generally, it takes about 40 to 60 minutes. It's important to check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean when the cake is done.

Do I need to adjust the ingredients for a rice cooker cake?

You may not need to adjust the ingredients significantly, but it's a good idea to reduce the amount of liquid slightly since rice cookers retain moisture well. Also, ensure the batter is not too thick to allow for even cooking.

Can I use a cake pan inside the rice cooker?

Yes, you can use a small cake pan or a silicone mold that fits inside your rice cooker. This can help with easier removal and cleanup. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly, as the pan may affect heat distribution.
