Zojirushi’s Sponge Cake Recipe (for their rice cookers)

IMAG0893

This is the recipe that came with my rice cooker since a few people have asked about it.  The cake recipe was ok… just a little dry.  I might tweak this recipe a little and try to make it again next time.
It’s a convenient little cake but I’m not sure if you can make it in any rice cooker.  Since the one I used has a cake setting.  But you can always try it and tell me how it comes out.
This recipe is for a 3 cup rice cooker.


Ingredients:
1/2 cup   all purpose flour
2             eggs (separate egg yolk from white)
1/4 cup   sugar
vanilla extract to taste

A) 1/2 tbsp   Milk
     0.4 oz.     Butter

Fresh cream, fruits (for decoration) as you like
Butter (for greasing Inner Cooking Pan) to taste

Directions:

  1. Grease the inside of the Inner Cooking Pan lightly and evenly with butter.
  2. Add A in a small bowl and float the small bowl in a larger bowl containing hot water to melt the butter.
  3. Beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add sugar until whites begin to hold their shape.
  4. Add yolks and vanilla extract to Step 3 and beat until thick.
  5. Add sifted all purpose flour to step 4. Mix with rubber spatula until smooth and well blended. Gently fold A from Step 2 without over-mixing.
  6. Pour the batter from Step 5 into the Inner Cooking Pan and hit the bottom of the inner Cooking Pan with the palm of your hand several times to release the air bubbles in the batter.
  7. Press the MENU button and choose the CAKE menu setting. Set the cooking time to 45 minutes and press the COOKING button.
  8. When baking completes, remove the cake onto a plate by turning the Inner Cooking Pan upside down, and allow it to cool.
  9. Frost the cake with whipped cream and garnish with desired fruit.

* Flavor variations: Sift cocoa powder with all purpose flour to make a chocolate cake, or green tea powder to make a green tea cake. (Add 2 tsp.)


Happy Baking!
