Yes, the title is correct - I found out how to make cake in my rice cooker!! I was a bit sad, not being able to use an oven, but a quick google search (you've got to love the internet) told me that the rice cooker sitting in the corner of my room, untouched, would suffice. So, here's my first attempt - a banana cake.
It was ok, but with a few adjustments I was able to make a second one I was happy with. I got so excited I forgot to take a photo, and instead took it around the corner to some of the other teachers where it vanished in about 2 minutes ;-) I love the fact that teachers like free food (particularly cake) in every school I've been at!
In return for the cake, one of the above-mentioned teachers wanted to give me something, but all he had in the fridge was a tub of strawberry yoghurt. My instant (and a little facetious) reply was that I would turn it into another cake, so here we have a strawberry yoghurt rice cooker cake, complete with icing:
For my next attempt, I decided to make a chocolate cake for the performing arts club, who did an awesome job of their show (Mulan) last Saturday! I actually made two cakes, and then this morning sandwiched them together with strawberry jam, then covered the whole thing in chocolate icing. I know it's bad, but I enjoyed my breakfast of chocolate icing :-) After a bit of ingenuity to get it to school safely (the container I bought wasn't tall enough) I am now ready to present it to the kids. It cracked a bit, which is disappointing, but it smells good, so we'll see how it goes!
