Baking a cake without an oven

Mar 03, 2007 14:58

Has anyone around here baked a cake without an oven? I mean like with a microwave, a rice cooker or a toaster oven. There is a cake my friends want me to make for them, but we don't have an oven at our disposal.

Hi, I know you don't know me, but I'm icca's friend. I LOVE your icon. How about a Chinese steamed cake? In terms of hardware you need a stove/hot plate, a pot, a hand mixer, a baking pan, and a steamer. But remember that to make a steamer A.B. once used an empty tuna can opened on both ends as a base and topped it with a disposable pie tin punched full of holes. Also, remember when whipping egg whites to use a chilled metal bowl and chilled beaters (I made the mistake of using plastic and it never whipped up). You can google 'Chinese steamed cake' and get a bunch of recipes. If you try it, let me know how it works out. ^_^

actually that sounds like a quite entertaining cake to make. I will have to try it sometime! :-D This time though I am supposed to make a cake that people from my area in usa eat. My icon came from the lj community called good_eats I think. It was free wither way so long as I attributed it to 'fritters' in the tagline on lj. feel free to take and attribute if you want. :-)

I've done cake in a rice cooker also. I just poured the mix in and set the timer for about an hour and checked the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center came out clean...messy but it worked.

No, I didn't change anything. It was just a standard cake mix from QQ. My rice cooker was one likes this one: http://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-NS-PC10-Electric-Cooker-Warmer/dp/B00005OBC3/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/104-4683295-5235900?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1173017629&sr=8-2

The cake was a little moist when it came out but otherwise it was fine.
