Rice Cooker Cakes

INGREDIENTS

1 store-bought cake mix, any flavor,

Additional ingredients listed on back of cake mix packaging Non-stick cooking spray

METHOD

1Mix cake ingredients together according to package directions. Spray Rice Cooker Pot with nonstick spray.

2Add 3-4 cups of batter, close lid and press COOK. After 10 minutes check cooker. It will probably be on KEEP WARM. If it is press, COOK again. If it will not stay in the COOK position, wait a few minutes and then press COOK again. You will need to repeat this process one more time, so that you will have pressed the COOK button and allowed the appliance to cycle through 3 times.

3Most cakes take about 45 minutes to cook. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick off center into the cake. The pick should have a few moist crumbs clinging to it. If it has a streak of wet-looking batter on it, press COOK again. It is very difficult to burn anything in the rice cooker!

NOTE: You can bake all kinds of things in your rice cooker from corn bread to cobbler using these same baking guidelines!
