This enormous pancake is made in a rice cooker! No need to stand over the stove and flip individual pancakes. Instead, just pour in the batter and let the rice cooker do the work. This recipe is for an 8 cup rice cooker so scale accordingly to your cooker capacity.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together eggs and milk until completely blended.
Add in remaining ingredients and whisk until only small lumps remain.
Grease the interior of the rice cooker inner bowl. Make sure you go up half way.
Pour in the batter and make sure it doesn’t reach past the half way mark as it will rise when cooking.
Pat the bottom of the inner bowl with the flat of your palm to evenly distribute the mixture.
Select the ’CAKE’ function for 40 minutes and press ’START’.
When cooking is finished it will have slightly pulled away from the edges of the bowl and should be firm to the touch with a slight bounce back. Use a toothpick to test inside. If there is no mixture on the toothpick then it is ready.
Let it cool for a few minutes then invert onto a plate. Serve with berries, then top with a sprinkle of icing sugar and/or honey.

Notes
It’s easy to make this recipe dairy free. Just substitute the milk and butter with soy, oat, almond milk or even coconut milk. It’s difficult to tell the difference from dairy.
Hi,
What settings do I need to set, to make this with the new Fuji Rice Cooker (no bake function). The botom gets burned on slow cook / steam function
Thanks!
Sam
Hi, Fuji doesn’t have a cake setting because the natural ceramic bowl doesn’t work well with this function. Therefore cakes (or this souffle pancake) can’t be made in Fuji. We would advise you don’t try this on other settings in Fuji because there is a chance that you could damage the inner bowl or crack it as it’s not designed to be used for cakes.
Tried the recipe (sakura rice cooker), but ended up with a solid piece that wasn’t very nice to eat, not fluffy at all. Maybe more baking powder?
Hi, are you sure you followed the recipe exactly? The recipe has been tested multiple times in Sakura and it’s worked perfectly every time.
Hi!
What size of cups are we talking about?
American cups (Google says: 236,588 ml), British cups (Google says: 284,130 ml), or YumAsia rice cups (180 ml) ????
I’m German and the cups in my cupboard are either 125 ml (teacups) or 250 ml (coffee mugs).
Help! 🤣🤣🤣
Hi! For this recipe, it’s a regular baking cup we are referring to which is 250ml
Thanks! ♥
This is why we should all use metric, to avoid confusion 🙂
Hi Rik, when our recipes aren’t metric we do note in the ingredients. Some recipes it’s important to be precise with weighing ingredients, with others not so much!
The cup that comes with this rice cooker is apparently just over 160ml, so I’m just going to use 3 (Sakura rice cooker) cups of flour and about 1.75 cups of milk.
You could always say “We’re using the cup that came with the rice cooker and this is how many of those specific cups to use.” Just a suggestion.
Hi, the provided measuring cup with rice cookers is 180ml (not 160ml), this 180ml measurement is the cup full to the top. The cup measurement for this recipe is a standard baking cup (250ml) and is noted on the ingredients.
I’ve tried the recipe twice on my Sakura, and both times I’ve ended up with a pancake that’s all nice on the outside but slightly raw (and not fluffy at all) on the inside. Any ideas?
Hi, double check you are using the correct measurements and not exceeding what’s listed in the ingredients. You can also try cooking for longer
Hello Greedy Panda, I’m new to rice cookers! Can you please advise how to scale this down correctly for a Panda mini? If this recipe is for an 8 cup cooker, am I correct to use a quarter of the recipe in the Panda?
Thank you
Hi, as Panda is a 3.5 cup rice cooker, this is half the capacity of an 8 cup rice cooker. You would therefore half the recipe.
Could this recipe be made in a Kumo rice cooker?
Hi, unfortunately you cannot make this recipe in Kumo because it doesn’t have a cake function. Kumo has not been designed to cook cakes and there is no other function that would work.
50 mins in a bamboo, cake menu, still not cooked and didn’t pull away from the edges.
Any advice?
Hi William, did you stick to the quantities in the recipe? If so and it’s not cooked then start the cooking process again
