I searched the files for rice cooker cake and it only came up with a couple, and when I opened them up they were the exact same thing. Does anyone have anything else or any suggestions? I'm doing this along with the 15 minute fajitas on Saturday.
 
Molten Chocolate Lava Cake

In PS micro rice cooker prepare cake mix according to directions; put half a can of chocolate frosting plunk in the middle of batter
Cook uncovered 9 minutes in revolving microwave
Cool about 5 mins
Invert on platter and serve

Add ice cream, cool whip or whipped cream…
 
???? uncovered ????

hmmm I've always put the lid on when I made the cake..
 
I've always cooked it uncovered for 10 minutes. I put the lid on when it comes out, during cooling time. Also, my director instructed us to let it cool 30-45 minutes because she's actually had someone burn themself because they get SO hot. That's just in my experience.

You can use any combination of cake mix & icing. We did pink-on-pink during HWC. I usually just do chocolate cake with chocolate icing as it appeals to the masses...and I usually end up selling at least 1 or 2 Rice Cookers that way! :D
 
I always cook it w/ the cover on, one side latched. 10 minutes is usually enough, but I have been known to flip it over, and discover it was not cooked, then flip it back in and cook for another minute or so (very messy, do over a sink). If it sits for too long, the frosting gets absorbed, and is not as oozy.
See my website for complete instructions, and a cool variation.

And I always sell at least 2 rice cookers every time!!
 
I always did it, 8 min on high, let cool 10 minutes. And I don't plunk all the icing in the middle, I use the small scoop & "gently place 6-9 dollops" around the top of the cake.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a rice cooker cake, and how does it differ from traditional baking?

A rice cooker cake is a dessert made using a rice cooker instead of a conventional oven. The main difference lies in the cooking method; rice cookers use steam and moisture to cook, resulting in a moist texture. This method can yield cakes that are denser and more pudding-like compared to those baked in an oven.

Can I use any cake recipe in a rice cooker?

While many cake recipes can be adapted for a rice cooker, it's essential to consider the cooking time and moisture content. Recipes that are too light or airy may not set properly. It's best to start with recipes specifically designed for rice cookers or those that are denser, like pound cakes or chocolate cakes.

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

The cooking time for a cake in a rice cooker typically ranges from 40 to 60 minutes, depending on the recipe and the specific rice cooker model. It's important to check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

What are some popular ingredients to use in rice cooker cakes?

Common ingredients for rice cooker cakes include flour, sugar, eggs, baking powder, and various flavorings like vanilla or cocoa powder. You can also add fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips for added flavor and texture. Experimenting with different ingredients can lead to unique and delicious results!

Where can I find rice cooker cake recipes?

You can find rice cooker cake recipes in various places, including cookbooks focused on rice cooker meals, food blogs, and recipe websites. Additionally, social media platforms like Pinterest and Instagram often feature creative rice cooker cake ideas shared by home cooks.
