The other day, I baked Orange Upside Down Cake. The top of the cake was nicely browned but the most important bottom was not browned. I was very disappointed, but I instantly thought about cooking it in the rice cooker. All my Upside-down Cakes can be superbly cooked in the rice cooker, because the bottom of the cake is facing the heat source and it gets browned. Have a look at the result. Cooking cakes in the rice cooker is so easy and energy efficient.

Steps

50 minutes

1

Line the base of rice cooker’s inner pot with baking paper. I used my 10 cup capacity rice cooker which inner pot is 20cm in diameter. *Note: If your inner pot is in a good condition, baking paper would be unnecessary.
2

Melt Butter in a small heat-proof bowl. Spread 2 tablespoons of melted Butter on the base of inner pot, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons Caster Sugar.
3

Finely grate zest of Orange, then cut the Orange into thin slices, about 2mm thin, and arrange the slices on the base of the inner pot.
4

Combine Self-Raising Flour, Caster Sugar and Salt in a mixing bowl. Add the grated Zest of Orange, Eggs and Buttermilk, and use a whisk to mix well. Add the remaining melted Butter, and whisk until well combined and smooth.
5

Gently pour the batter over the Orange slices and press ‘Start’ button at ‘Cake’ setting.
6

When the cake is cooked, carefully take the inner pot out and set aside to cool slightly, then turn onto a plate upside down. Peel away baking paper

*Note: Top of the cake cannot be browned, but the cake looks fine upside-down. It took 40 minutes for my rice cooker to cook.
