Rice Cooker Chocolate Lava Cake
This easy chocolate lava cake is made right in your rice cooker! With a soft cake exterior and molten chocolate center, it’s the perfect quick treat.
Equipment
- Rice cooker (standard or multi-function)
- Medium mixing bowl
- Silicone spatula
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Toothpick or cake tester
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar for dusting optional
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing rice cooker
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add in the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Lightly grease the rice cooker pot with butter or cooking spray. Pour the batter into the pot and smooth it out evenly with a spatula.
- Close the rice cooker lid and set it to the 'Cook' setting. Let it cook for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
- Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with gooey chocolate, it’s ready. If it’s completely clean, it might be slightly overcooked (but still delicious!).
- Let the cake rest for 3–5 minutes before removing it. Carefully flip it out onto a plate or scoop out portions. Dust with powdered sugar and add berries or ice cream if desired.
