Rice Cooker Cakes

I wanted to make a cake. Yes, make. Since I do not have an oven and I'm not willing to use the turbo broiler. And as if by divine intervention, I found this link on Big Momma's Li'l Kitchen on 21 Things You can Make using your rice cooker. I found two things I needed remembering so decided to post them here.

Apple Cake 
(Original Recipe from here)

Peel two apples, cut each apple into 8 wedges. In a non-stick pan, heat gently 2 tbsp butter, add the apples, toss them around a little and let cook at medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add 3 tbsp cane sugar, mix delicately and let cook until caramelised. Grease the ricecooker’s bowl with a drop of oil and pour the apples and all the remaining caramel into the bowl. Arrange the apples to cover the bottom of the bowl. Then put together 70g (1/2 cup) all-purpose flour with 50g (1/4) cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, a pinch of salt, 3 tbsp melted butter and two eggs, mix well and pour this batter over the apples, covering them completely. Put everything back into the ricecooker and push the on-button. That’s it! :-) ps. after cooking the cake, allow it to cool in the mold for 20 minutes, and unmold delicately on a serving plate. Serve with crème anglaise or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

• 1 box of Dunkenhein's Devil's Food Chocolate Cake mix (mix all necessary ingredients together following the box instructions)
• 1 can of Betty Crocker milk chocolate frosting, divided
• (optional) cooking spray

1. In a rice cooker bowl, spray with cooking spray if your rice cooker bowl is not non-stick. Place all cake mix ingredients together in the rice cooker bowl. Spoon half of the chocolate frosting in the middle of the cake batter.
2. Place the bowl in the rice cooker and push the cook button. (My rice cooker has a slow cooker option, so I pushed that button and it took about 2 hours or maybe even longer. The cooking time may vary according to different rice cookers - so when your rice cooker beeps saying it's done, and you open the rice cooker and it's still liquidy, no worries, just push the cook button again and wait. You may have to repeat this process a couple of times. But remember, the cake will be very moist and worth the wait. Just plan ahead!)
3. When the cake is fully cooked, flip the bowl upside down onto a flat plate. Heat the rest of the frosting in microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Pour the frosting over the warm cake. Serve warm.
