Rice Cooker Chocolate Cake Recipe

I want to find more ways to utilize my rice cooker in addition to cooking rice and steaming food. Today I made a chocolate cake with it. The cake is more moist and spongy compared to its baked version. I don't need to watch the temperature and there is less mess to clean up. Here is the recipe.

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder (I prefer dark cocoa powder!)
1/2 tsp. coffee powder
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup boiling water

  • Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl
  • Add egg, milk, oil and vanilla; beat on medium speed of mixer for 2 minutes
  • Stir in boiling water
  • Line bottom of rice cooker with parchment paper (cut to shape)
  • Pour batter into rice cooker
  • Press cook button (Select regular rice setting if you've a digital rice cooker)
  • When rice cooker automatically switches off, open and check. Check cake with toothpick/fork, press cook button again if needed. Repeat until cake is done*
  • Cool 10 minutes; removes from rice cooker to wire racks
  • Cool completely. Decorate with your usual frosting

* How many times to "cook" depends on the size and power of your rice cooker. For my rice cooker, I had to "cook" twice.
