Can You Make a Gluten-Free Molten Lava Cake in a Rice Cooker?

[PamperedchefDaly]

One of my guests asked if you could make the Molten Lava Cake in the rice cooker using gluten free cake mix. I didn't know if the consistency would be different, so I didn't want to chance making it at the party she was at. I told her I would toss the question out here on this forum, and see if anybody has any answers. TIA.

I made one- it did kinda work-
the texture of GF is different
When the cake was done in the micro cooker- lots of icing was floating on the sides, ( only used 5 scoops)
I let it sit a bit- the icing seemed to soak in.
I flipped it- the cake fell apart, did not hold shape at all.
It looked dry too-
so what I did was melted the remaining icing and poured it over top. Everyone understood since it was GF- and they liked it

While I cannot speak from personal experience, I have done some research and it seems that making a Molten Lava Cake in a rice cooker with gluten-free cake mix is possible, but it may require some adjustments.First, make sure you are using a gluten-free cake mix that is specifically designed for baking in the oven. Some gluten-free cake mixes may not have the right texture or consistency for a Molten Lava Cake.Next, when making the batter, you may need to add a little more liquid (such as milk or water) to the mix to achieve the desired consistency. Gluten-free flours can sometimes absorb more liquid than regular flour, so adjusting the liquid amount may be necessary.You may also need to adjust the cooking time for the cake in the rice cooker. It is recommended to start with a shorter cooking time and check the cake periodically until it is cooked through. It may also help to use the "cake" setting on the rice cooker, if available.Overall, it may take some trial and error to get the perfect Molten Lava Cake using gluten-free cake mix in a rice cooker, but it is definitely worth a try. I hope this helps and good luck with your baking!
