How to Make a Delicious Apple Rice Cooker Cake for Kids’ Snacks
Introducing a simple and delicious apple rice cooker cake recipe you can easily make at home. Packed with chewy apple pieces between a soft cake base! It’s not only perfect for kids but also a delightful treat for adults during tea time. Made in a rice cooker, it boasts a wonderfully moist and fluffy texture.
Essential Ingredients- 1/2 Apple (peeled and finely diced)
- 1 Room Temperature Egg
- 200ml Milk
- 300g Hotcake Mix (pancake mix)
- 1.5 tsp Instant Coffee Granules (optional, for adults)
- 1 Tbsp Canola Oil (for batter) + a little for greasing the rice cooker
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl, crack the room temperature egg and pour in the 200ml of milk. Using room temperature milk helps eliminate the eggy smell and contributes to the cake’s tenderness.
Step 2
Whisk the egg and milk together with a whisk or fork until well combined and smooth. Avoid overmixing.
Step 3
If you’d like to add a coffee flavor for adult consumption, stir in 1.5 tsp of instant coffee granules until dissolved. If making this for children, simply skip this step and proceed without the coffee.
Step 4
Sift the 300g of hotcake mix into the bowl. Sifting prevents lumps and ensures a lighter cake. Gently mix with a whisk until no dry powder remains. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cake tough. Finally, add 1 Tbsp of canola oil and mix lightly to complete the batter.
Step 5
Wash, peel, and finely dice the 1/2 apple. Dicing them into small, bite-sized pieces is recommended, as larger pieces may take longer to cook. Gently fold the diced apples into the prepared batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Each bite will be enhanced by the delightful combination of sweet and tart apple chunks.
Step 6
Lightly grease the inner pot of your rice cooker with a little canola oil. This prevents the cake from sticking and ensures easy removal. Pour the apple batter into the greased pot. Gently tap the rice cooker on the counter 2-3 times to release any large air bubbles from the batter, which will result in a smoother cake surface.
Step 7
Select the ‘Steam’ function on your electric pressure rice cooker and cook for approximately 40 minutes. (Cooking time may vary depending on your rice cooker model.) If your rice cooker doesn’t have a steam function, you can use the standard white rice cooking mode and check for doneness periodically. Once done, your rice cooker cake will be golden brown.
Step 8
Carefully remove the finished rice cooker cake from the pot and place it on a wire rack to cool slightly. Cutting it while too hot might cause it to crumble. Slice it into your desired portions once it’s warm to enjoy a wonderfully moist and tender apple rice cooker cake.
