  • If it switches itself to ” Keep warm” ,flip it back to cook.If it refuses to stay there ,wait for few minutes and then press cook.(I had to press the cook button 6 times, during the total cooking time of 80 minutes.)

  • Allow it to cool slightly before turning it onto a plate.

  • NOTES

    • I used a 1.5 ltr push lever type rice cooker with a non- stick pot. 
    • The cooking time depends upon the type / volume of the rice cooker you use.So  the cooking time can be anywhere between 45 to 80 minutes.
    • Do not open the rice cooker too often to check for doneness,as this may affect the cooking time.Make sure you do not open the rice cooker for at least the first 30 minutes of cooking.

                I am sure you can bake this cake in a pressure cooker,i tmay take almost 40 to 50 minutes ,but i haven't tried it though.
                Check the recipe for' Pressure cooker vanilla cake ' to get details about baking in a pressure cooker.
                alternately, you can also steam the cake for about 45 minutes using a steamer .
                Do let me know okie…

              Done it, nailed it!
              Made two of'em 1 in a pressure cooker and the other in a Microwave. Was good to experiment with both.
              However the findings are, 1/8 tsp should be 1/2 tsp for better taste. Sugar can come down a notch for those who prefer less sweet. Brown sugar – sugar ratio 1:1 will also work fine here. Vanilla does an amazing job of canceling the egg smell and gives banana to do its job. 1/2 cup milk will help retain the moisture and keep the cake fluffy with boost from the eggs,if microwaved. Rest all was fine and dandy. Nice recipe. Cheers! Vipul Tamhane
