Select the ‘CAKE’ option and move the time to at least 50 minutes. It may need longer than this, so when the 50 minutes cycle has finished, test the top of the cake by gently pressing it. If it feels firm, it’s ready – alternatively insert a toothpick and it shouldn’t have any cake mixture stuck to it.

Remove the bowl from the rice cooker unit and allow the cake to cool for a while in the bowl. When fully cooled, put your hand inside the rice cooker bowl on top of the cake and tip out onto your hand. The bottom of the cake will have a lovely crust and you can transfer the cake onto a plate.
