Rice cooker cakes are becoming increasingly popular due to their simplicity and convenience. In this article, we will guide you through the process of making a delectable cake in your rice cooker.

Gather Your Ingredients
The first step in making a rice cooker cake is to gather all the necessary ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of milk
- ½ cup of vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Cake toppings of your choice (optional)
Make sure you have all these ingredients before you proceed to the next step.
Mix and Prepare the Batter
Now that you have gathered all the ingredients, it’s time to mix and prepare the cake batter. Follow these steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain.
Your cake batter is now ready to be cooked in the rice cooker!
Cook the Cake in the Rice Cooker
Now comes the exciting part – cooking the cake in the rice cooker! Follow these steps:
- Grease the inner pot of your rice cooker with butter or cooking spray to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Pour the cake batter into the greased pot of the rice cooker.
- Close the lid of the rice cooker and select the “cake” or “bake” setting, if available. If your rice cooker doesn’t have specific settings, just set it to “cook.”
- Let the cake cook for approximately 45-60 minutes. Avoid opening the lid during cooking, as this may affect the cake’s texture.
- To check if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
Once the cake is cooked, carefully remove the inner pot from the rice cooker and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, gently invert the pot to release the cake onto a plate or cooling rack.
Add Toppings and Enjoy
Now that your rice cooker cake is ready, it’s time to add some delicious toppings and enjoy! Here are a few ideas:
- Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a classic look.
- Spread a layer of frosting or icing over the cake for added sweetness.
- Decorate the cake with fresh fruits, such as berries or sliced mango, for a refreshing twist.
Get creative with your toppings and make the cake your own!
Now that you know how to make a rice cooker cake, you can satisfy your cake cravings anytime, even without an oven. Enjoy the simplicity and convenience of making a delicious cake in your rice cooker. Happy baking!
