How to Make Sponge Cake Using a Rice Cooker
-
Whip the Egg Whites
First, you will sift 60g of flour and 40g of cornstarch until fine. Then separate the egg yolks and egg whites into 2 separate bowls.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 4 – 5 drops of lemon juice to the egg whites and use a whisk to beat well.
When the egg whites start to bubble, gradually add 70g of sugar while continuing to beat until dissolved before adding more sugar. Beat until the egg whites are stiff, and when you lift the whisk, it forms stiff peaks.
-
Mix the egg yolk and flour mixture
Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, 30ml of sweetened fresh milk, and 15ml of cooking oil into the bowl with egg yolks and use a whisk to mix the mixture well.
Then, you will pour the sifted mixture of flour and cornstarch into it and mix well to create a smooth mixture.
-
Mixing the cake batter
First, you will add about 1/3 of the whipped egg white mixture into the bowl of yolk batter and use a whisk to mix gently until the mixture is completely combined.
Then, add the mixed batter with the egg whites into the bowl of the initially whipped egg whites and mix evenly using the Fold technique (scooping and lifting the ingredients from the bottom up).
You should only mix in one direction and stop mixing as soon as the batter is just combined (about 5 minutes), avoiding overmixing as it can make the cake batter tough and less fluffy.
-
Baking the cake
You can line the bottom of the rice cooker with parchment paper so that the cake is easier to remove once baked. Then, pour the cake batter into the rice cooker and press the cook button.
Additionally, for rice cookers with a cake baking mode, you can continue to select the cake baking menu and wait for about 40 minutes for the cake to bake.
-
Check the cake
Once the timer is up, open the rice cooker lid and press down on the cake’s surface with your finger. If the surface of the sponge cake does not sink, it is cooked. Wait for the cake to cool a bit before taking it out to enjoy.
If the cake is not cooked yet, put the lid back on and press the cook button again, wait another 5 – 10 minutes for the cake to cook evenly.
-
Final product
Making sponge cake with a rice cooker is not only time-saving and effortless but also very fragrant and fluffy. This cake is perfect for enjoying during afternoon tea or can be served at family gatherings, making it very suitable and appetizing. Give it a try and enjoy!

Whisk the egg yolk mixture
Separate the egg whites and egg yolks into two different bowls.
First, whisk the egg yolks until they become frothy using a whisk made from a plastic bottle with the bottom cut off and frayed at the bottom. Whisk continuously until the egg yolks are fluffy and have a light yellow color.
Then gradually add all 40ml of unsweetened milk and 40ml of cooking oil while stirring continuously, and continue to whisk the mixture until it becomes fluffy, then add the vanilla extract for an appealing aroma.
Next, use a sieve to gradually sift the cornstarch and flour into the egg yolk mixture, adding while whisking, mixing thoroughly from the outside to the inside until the egg mixture is smooth. When the batter is completely smooth, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set aside.
Tip: To save time and for efficiency, you can use an electric mixer or whisk if available!
-
Beat the egg whites
Similar to the egg yolks, you also use a whisk to beat the egg whites until they are frothy, adding lemon juice and a little salt while beating.
Then gradually add 100g of powdered sugar until the egg whites are fluffy, with stiff peaks that hold their shape when the bowl is turned upside down.
-
Mix the ingredients
Finally, gradually add the whipped egg whites into the previously prepared yolk mixture. Gently fold from the outside in to prevent the air bubbles from breaking, mixing until the egg whites are evenly combined with the mixture and it becomes smooth.

Cooking cake with a rice cooker
Spread a thin layer of peanut butter or cooking oil on the rice cooker pot to prevent the cake from sticking and make it easy to remove.
Then, pour the entire mixture of beaten eggs that you prepared earlier into the rice cooker pot, close the lid, and press the cook button as you normally would.
After cooking is complete, the pot will switch to the keep warm mode; you should continue to press the cook button once more.
Note: During the cooking process, do not open the rice cooker lid because doing so will cause the cake to deflate and not look appealing.When the cooking is finished and the pot switches to the keep warm button again, leave it as is for about 20 minutes, then open the lid and use a toothpick to test the cake; if the cake does not stick to the toothpick, it is done.
Once the cake is cooked, you can take it out, place it on a plate, and enjoy.

How to choose fresh, quality chicken eggs
- You should choose chicken eggs with a dark brown shell, with no black spots appearing. When you touch the surface with your hand, if you can feel the roughness, slightly grainy texture, then those are fresh chicken eggs.
- Additionally, you can check the freshness of the eggs by shining a light on them; if the yolk is round and does not move, with an orange or pale pink color, and the white is clear, then those are fresh chicken eggs.
- Avoid choosing eggs that have a pale color, many black spots, and a smooth surface when touched, as these are eggs that have been stored for a long time and are no longer fresh and tasty.
Where to buy various types of flour
- Currently, you can easily find all-purpose flour, corn flour at supermarkets, the TasteVN store system, baking ingredient stores, or at large grocery stores.
- Additionally, you can also purchase on e-commerce sites or buy various types of flour at bachhoaxanh.com
