With minimal cleanup, you can easily make a moist and fluffy Earl Grey cake. I used Earl Grey tea this time, but feel free to use your favorite tea.
The origin of this recipe: I got tired of pancakes and had a lot of tea bags (°_°).

Steps

1

Warm about 1/4 cup (50 ml) of the water in the microwave and steep the tea bag in it.
2

In a bowl (or the rice cooker pot), mix the egg and sugar until pale, then add the vegetable oil.
3

Once the tea bag has released its aroma, cut it open and add the tea leaves to the egg mixture.
4

Combine the 1/4 cup (50 ml) of brewed tea with the remaining 1/2 cup (150 ml) of water and add to the egg mixture, mixing well.
5

Add the pancake mix and gently fold it in. Avoid over-mixing to maintain a fluffy texture; over-mixing will result in a denser cake.
6

Once the ingredients are combined, turn on the rice cooker. The cake is done when a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Note: Cooking time may vary depending on the rice cooker, but do not use the quick-cook setting as it may result in uneven cooking.

4/7 Update: Replacing vegetable oil with melted butter will make the cake even more moist.
