Ingredients
Ingredients below are for a 5.5-cup cooker.
- 4 Eggs
- 4 4/5 oz Sugar
- 4 4/5 oz Cake flour
- 1 2/5 oz Unsalted butter
- Unsalted butter (to be spread in inner pot) as needed
Decoration
- 200 ml Heavy cream (dairy)
- 4/5 oz Granulated sugar
- Strawberry as needed
- Blueberry as needed
Directions
- Bring the eggs to room temperature. Sift the cake flour. Melt the unsalted butter.
- Place the eggs and sugar in a bowl and lightly mix.
- Warm the bowl in hot water at 104℉ (40℃) and mix the ingredients until the sugar has completely dissolved. Remove the bowl from the hot water.
- Beat at high speed using a hand mixer until batter comes thick and white. Whip for 1 minute at a low speed to make it fluffy.
- Add cake flour and mix well until the flour dissolves.
- Add unsalted butter and mix well.
- Lightly coat inner pot with unsalted butter and pour the batter. Remove any air from the batter by lifting the pan about an inch from the counter and dropping a couple times. Place a cloth on the counter before doing so to prevent the pot from deforming or damaging.
- Place inner pot in the rice cooker. Select the [Cake] menu and set for 35 minutes. Press the [Start] key.
- When cooking is complete, remove the cake from the inner pot and let it cool.
- To make the whipped cream, add granulated sugar to the heavy cream and whisk the mixture.
- Once cooled, slice and place on a serving plate. Decorate the cake with whipped cream, strawberries and blueberries.
