Rice cooker cake

Lemon Cake
Do you want to make a cake but you don't have an oven? Here is a recipe for a super-easy cake that you can make in the rice cooker!

Ingredients:
1 small packet of hotcake mix
1 egg, at room temperature is best
100ml of milk, at room temperature is best
1 teaspoon of sugar
1cm of butter
Plus - flavor of the kind of cake you want.

Lemon and Honey Cake
Slices of lemon on the bottom
of the bowl before the mixture.
Method
1. Heat a 1cm slice of butter in the microwave oven until it is completely melted.
2. Beat the egg and milk together. Add the sugar. Add the hotcake mix. Finally add the melted butter and beat well.
3. Rub some butter around the inside of the rice cooker bowl, up to about 4cm deep.
4. Add the mixture into the bowl.
5. Press "On" on the rice cooker. Just the regular course is ok

Flavors
Ginger Honey Cake
   - Ginger Cake (my favorite).
   Mix 2 teaspoons of ginger  
   powder with the dry
   hotcake mix. Exchange
   2 teaspoons of honey for
   the sugar.

   - Lemon Cake
   Add the finely grated rind of
   1 organic lemon. For Orange Cake, use the rind of 1 orange. Yuzu is okay too! Add to the dry hotcake mix. You can put slices of lemon in the bottom of the rice cooker bowl before you add in the mixture.

- Chocolate Cake
Add about 1 to 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the dry hotcake mix.

- Banana Chocolate Chip Cake
Mash 1 or 1 1/2 soft bananas and mix them with the egg and milk mix. Put the finished mixture in the rice cooker bowl, and put some big chocolate chips ON TOP of the mixture. They will sink. DO NOT put them on the bottom because they will touch the metal of the bowl and burn.

- Herb "Cake"
Don't put any sugar, but add a pinch of salt. Add dry herbs or fresh herbs as you like.

Other ideas: vanilla, blueberries, dried fruit of any kind, canned peaches that you drained carefully, peanut butter instead of butter, grated apple and cinnamon, apple slices in the bottom of the bowl + cinnamon, etc.

Points:
- Please use the butter because it makes the cake rich and moist.
- For the flavor, dry things should be mixed with the dry hotcake mix first.
- Don't use things that are too wet, or reduce the milk to 80ml.
- If you want a lighter cake, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- You can make 2 cakes and after they are cool, you can join them together with cream to make a shortcake :)
