I have made several attempts at cooking Lemon Cake in my rice cooker. I have some Lemon Cake recipes and I tried them. I realised that the cake cooked in ricer cooker tends to collapse when flipped over if Butter content is high. Soft and moist ones don’t work well. It seems the basic rice cooker cake recipe that requires smaller amount of Butter and larger amount of Flour works best. I recommend to add Lemon Icing rather than pouring Lemon Syrup over the hot cake.

Steps

45 minutes

1

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

Whisk all ingredients in a mixing bowl until smooth. Pour the mixture into the prepared rice cooker’s inner pot, flat the surface evenly, and start cooking at ‘Cake’ setting.
3

*Note: Cake that is cooked in ricer cooker tends to collapse when flipped over if Butter content is high. If you add more Butter, you need to take the cake out of the pot cautiously.
4

If it is not cooked yet, leave it in the hot rice cooker for 10 more minutes or heat extra time. When it is cooked, turn out on a wire rack, carefully peel away baking paper, and cool.
5

To make Lemon Icing, mix Icing Sugar and Lemon Juice. Drizzle the Lemon Icing over the cooled cake, and serve.
