Grease the Rice Cooker Pot
Lightly grease the inner pot of the rice cooker with a thin layer of butter or spray with non‑stick cooking spray. For extra ease, line the bottom with a small piece of parchment paper.
Time: PT2M
Pour Batter into Pot
Pour the batter into the prepared rice cooker pot, smoothing the top with a spatula. Do not fill higher than two‑thirds of the pot’s height.

Cook the Cake
Close the lid and set the rice cooker to the ‘Cook’ setting. Let it run; most rice cookers will automatically switch to ‘Warm’ after about 20‑25 minutes. When this happens, press ‘Cook’ again. Repeat until the total cooking time reaches about 45 minutes.

Rest the Cake
When the cooker switches to ‘Warm’, let the cake sit undisturbed for 10 minutes with the lid on to finish steaming gently.
Time: PT10M
Unmold and Cool
Open the lid, carefully lift the parchment (if used), and invert the pot onto a serving plate. Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before slicing.
