My ‘Rice Cooker Apple Upside-down Cake’ is easy and delicious, but today I was in hurry. I tried even easier method. I added a can of Apple Slices and Cinnamon to my ‘Basic Plain Rice Cooker Cake’. I was happy with the result, though it took longer time to cook. This is probably the easiest Apple Cake that I have ever cooked.

Makes

I used my 10 cup capacity rice cooker which inner pot is 20cm in diameter.

Ingredients

1 & 1/4 cups Self-Raising Flour
1/2 cup Caster Sugar OR Brown Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
2 Eggs *preferably at room temperature
60g melted Butter OR 1/4 cup Oil *I used Sunflower Oil today
1/2 cup Milk *warmed
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 can (410g) Apple Slices *choose firm type
1/4 cup Sultanas *optional

Optional Icing
1/4 cup (30g) Icing Sugar
1/2 tablespoon Milk OR Lemon Juice

Method
  1. Line the base of rice cooker’s inner pot with baking paper. *Note: If your inner pot is in good condition, baking paper would be unnecessary.
  2. Drain canned Apple Slices very well. Cut into smaller pieces if large. *Note: Warming the drained Apple Slices in the microwave would help the cooking process.
  3. Combine all the cake ingredients except Apple Slices. Add the Apple Slices to the batter, and gently combine.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared rice cooker’s inner pot, spread evenly, and start cooking at ‘Cake’ setting.
  5. If it is not cooked yet, leave it in the hot rice cooker for 10 more minutes or heat extra time. When it is cooked, turn out on a wire rack, carefully peel away baking paper, and cool.
  6. To make Icing, mix Icing Sugar and Milk (OR Lemon Juice). Drizzle the Icing over the cooled cake, and serve.
  7. *Note: Top of the cake cannot be browned, but the cake looks fine upside-down. I used my 10 cup capacity rice cooker which inner pot is 20cm in diameter. It took 40 minutes plus extra 10 minutes to cook.
