It looked PERFECT!! Just seemed like it was done after only 6 min??? It bursted out the sides (all cooked cake...which made for an easy clean up!) If I don't oil it I'm afraid it won't fall out good and will stick???
 
don't oil it... it won't stick. :)

OK! I'll try that!
 
I even mixed mine in the rice cooker (did not oil it) with a whisk and a small scraper; added half the can of frosting and cooked without the lid and it was great. You do need to eat it all once it is cooked; not as good as leftovers.​
