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!

    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.

Hi guys! It's day 6 of our COVID-19 stay-at-home plan. I've decided to resurrect my blog by sharing our meals with you guys. Tonight on the menu is my version of a Kimchi Pork Stew.

COVID-19 Stay at Home Day 7: Crispy Rice Cakes Recipe

Hey guys! Just sharing a quick analogy about numbers and COVID-19 and why you should avoid the disease before I post my recipe of the day. Imagine you have a packet of M&Ms with 100 little chocolates in it. Now you're being told between 2-6 pieces in that packet has cyanide in it, and there are a few that will give you violent diahorrea what would you do?  1) Throw the whole packet away 2) Eat it cause I won't die from diahorrea 3) Eat it cause what's the risk of dying, it's just 2-6%?! 4) Eat it and share it with all your friends and family and even your doggy! Personally, the most logical answer for me is to throw the whole packet away. It's the same reason why I'm staying at home to help stop the spread of COVID-19. I guess it's really food for thought! That said, here's my recipe for today! I've had some leftover rice from last night and NO WAY, not wasting any rice as it's super hard to find rice out there. I've turn my lef...

How to pick your notebook for Bullet Journal

Image
The bullet journal is a "back-to-traditional" organisational tool. It has won many fans not only from those who like being organised with to-do lists, but also from many craft and stationary enthusiast. If you've not heard of bullet journalling (or bujo for short), it is a system using a combination of long term and short term to-do lists, coupled with calendars to keep organised. Variations include meal prep lists, shopping lists, goals, etc. Many craft lovers also use their bujos for variations of paper crafts (like scrapbooking) and calligraphy. There are a good variety of different types and styles of notebooks available on the market. One of the most common dilemmas most newbies to bullet journalling have is what type of notebook to use. It might seem quite trivial for those who have never stepped into the bullet journalling world, but in fact the different types of notebook are used quite differently. To pick your first bullet journal, I've tried to catego...
