Baking a Cake using a Rice Cooker
In most homes in Asia, it would be rare if you found an oven. So what to do if you want to bake a cake? Ever thought of using your rice cooker?
Newer rice cookers have the ability to pressurise and can be used to for baking. Such rice cookers also often already have a bake function. If you have an older rice cooker, you will need to make some modifications for baking.
Rice cooker cakes are often denser, so cakes like chocolate cakes would work much better than a sponge cake.
Instructions:
1. Pick your favourite cake mix and prepare it as per the box instructions. I've tried the cheap Woolworths cake mix and various Betty Crocker mixes and they work equally as well.
2. If you have a non-stick rice cooker, you can skip this step. Else, you will need to oil your rice cooker.
3. Place your cake mix into the rice cooker.
4. For newer cookers which can pressurise, select the cake function, or the quick-rice function. For older cookers turn the cooker to the normal rice function.
5. At the end of the cycle, put a skewer or a toothpick and check if it comes out clean. If it does not, repeat step 4 again. For older cookers this may take 3-4 cycles.
6. When your skewer comes out clean, take the pot out of the cooker and invert it onto a plate. You make need a few knocks on the bottom of the pot to get the cake out.
7. If your cake comes with icing, wait for 15 minutes for the cake to cool before icing the cake.
Your cake is now ready!

Rice Cooker Price
Sounds great but I just cooked my cake in a small rice cooker and it did rise very well but it is done through. I only used 1/3 the cake mix as instructed....dont know what it tastes like yet....letting it cool.
