Orange Cake (Bake In Rice Cooker) 电饭锅做蛋糕


This orange cake is the similar recipe to my earlier lemon cake. With the micro computer rice cooker around, the orange cake is quick and easy to make. Since I was in baking mood last weekend, I baked two orange cakes to share with my family and friends.

I made some minor modification on my earlier recipe and I observe some improvement this round. Besides the prettier appearance, the cake is fluffy, light and moist. With the little effort, you'll get a healthier version of cake with no margarine and butter.



Orange Cake
Yields for 12 pieces

Ingredients:

5 grade C eggs
180gm self raising flour, sifted
1 tsp of baking powder
120gm Castor sugar
50gm sunflower oil
1 orange, finely grated zest
3tbsp orange juice

Method:

1. Beat the eggs and Caster sugar under high speed until fluffy. (I beat it for about 15 minutes).

2. Add the orange zest and orange juice. Gently fold in the sifted flour and baking powder with plastic spatula.

3. Pour in the sunflower oil and mix well with spatula.

4. Using spatula, transfer the batter into inner pot of rice cooker. Give the pot a few good shake to remove the air trapped in the batter.

5. Bake the cake using "quick cook" menu.

6. When it's done, leave it cool. Upside turn the pot to leave the cake bottom-up on a big plate.

    SimpleGirl, I used fine cane sugar before, it's ok. However, the cake turn out smoother with Castor sugar. That's my experience. Not sure about the theory behind.

    thenomadGourmand, it's better to use non-stick rice cooker pot. Otherwise, the cake will stick to the pot.

    Anncoo, it takes about 20 minutes or less. I didn't measure the time.

    I would have never thought to bake a cake in a rice cooker. I've heard of making one in the slow cooker, but never the rice cooker. This looks so moist and delicious. I would love a piece!

    New Kid, thanks :P

    Duckie, non-stick pot can perform better in this case.

    Lingzie, yea healthy cake. :)

    FoodParadise, oppss may be your ingredients ratio is not correct, or the flavor matter? There was once I bake an egg cake in the rice cooker, but it turned out as hard as rock, LOL!

    Joanne, yes, it's fluffy and moist. I love it too!

    Would really love if you can share more recipe that can bake in rice cooker.

    Mermaid, I would say coffee and chocolate will work fine in a rice cooker too. Separate the egg yolk and egg white like chiffon cake to get a smoother texture.

    Hi, it's kind of cake I like to eat as its healthier. I am going to get a new rice cake (bigger). So I can use my old small Panasonic rice cooker to cook cakes. Thanks for your receip, it' looks very yumy. Wish I could taste as well.
