  • Servings 3-4
  • Preparation 15 min
  • Cooking 60 min

Ingredients

Ingredients below are for a 5.5-cup cooker.

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons loose English breakfast tea leaves or other black tea leaves
  • 110ml milk or unsweetened oat milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 80g granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil

Directions

  • Mix the flour, baking powder and 3 tablespoons sugar in a bowl and set aside.
  • Place the tea leaves and milk in a bowl and microwave for 50 seconds. Take the tea out of the microwave and let cool to room temperature.
  • Divide the yolk from the egg white and keep them in two separate bowls.
  • Put the egg yolks and 40g of sugar in a bowl and using a hand mixer, mix for 3 minutes on medium speed, or until the mixture turns a light yellow.
  • Add the tea leaves and milk mixture, flour mixture, and oil, and mix for 1 minute. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, add the egg whites and using a hand mixer, mix on medium high speed until the egg whites turn into a foam. Slowly add the remaining 40g sugar and keep on mixing until the meringue is solid enough to form peaks.
  • Add the meringue to the dough mixture and fold it – do not stir – a few times until it’s evenly mixed.
  • Spray the rice cooker inner pot with cooking spray and pour the cake mixture in. 
  • Either choose the [Cake] mode or [Slow Cook] mode. For Slow Cook mode, set the timer for 60 minutes. Close the lid and press start. 
  • Flip the cake onto a plate and serve.

But first…

WHAT IS A CHIFFON CAKE? 

A traditional chiffon cake is a light, airy cake made with vegetable oil instead of fats that remain solid at room temperature, like butter. It also tends to get a pillowy soft texture from use of egg whites that are whipped until stiff.

And this isn’t even our first rodeo making a rice cooker chiffon cake recipe – so we’ve got the process perfected. It’s so easy!
