often end up with a bunch of overripe bananas that are too soft to eat, but I can’t throw them away. Luckily, banana cake is one of my favorites, so I never throw them away, but they become this delicious banana cake.
And not just any banana cake, but one that you can easily bake with your rice cooker. So don’t be sad if you don’t have an oven at home, bake this cake instead. 🙂

How do I prepare a banana cake in rice cooker?
The step by step to prepare the banana cake dough and bake the cake in
a rice cooker is as follows:
- Mashed ripe bananas with a food processor/blender
- If your rice cooker has a nonstick layer of Teflon, there is no need for greasing and flour. Otherwise, lightly grease and flour the pot.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites to the medium peak, while adding sugar in 3 batches.
- Add egg yolks, mashed banana, melted butter and vanilla essence to egg whites. Mix completely one by one before adding the next ingredient.
- Gently fold dry ingredients (all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt) to wet ingredients with a spatula. Stop once the dry ingredients have been mixed to make sure we don’t collapse the aerated dough.
- and place it in the rice cooker. Press the “cooking” button. Once it becomes “hot”, wait 10 minutes. Repeat the “cooking” and “heating” cycle for another 3 times for a total of 4 “cooking” and “heating” cycles.
- Open the lid of the rice cooker and use a cake tester to make sure the cake is fully cooked. If your cake is not already cooked, repeat the cycle of “cooking” and “heating” again until the cake is completely baked.
- the rice cooker, cover the pot with a plate wider than the pot opening, turn it upside down, and the banana cake should easily fall on the plate
- Cut the cake into portions to serve and serve.

Tips for
Baking the Perfect Rice Cooker Cake
Just like baking a cake in an oven, there are ways to improve your chances of baking a perfect cake in a rice cooker. Here are my tips, and hopefully, they’ll help you bake a perfect rice cooker cake:
Make sure your
- eggs are oversized and at room temperature. Make sure your
- baking powder is still active. You can mix 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder with 1/4 cup of boiling water. If it bubbles rigorously, it is good to use, otherwise use a new can of baking powder.
- Be sure to beat your egg whites to medium peak. This means that the beak should hold its shape quite well, but the tip or spout curls in on itself when the whisk is lifted.
- Make sure the melted butter is not too hot. The best way to try is to dip a finger and if it feels warm, it’s good.
- When adding dry ingredients, be sure to fold very carefully and gently. Do not fold too much, or the cake will be hard and dense. Simply fold enough to incorporate the dry ingredients.
- Once you have finished folding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Immediately pour the dough into the pot and cook/bake the cake. The dough should not rest too long before baking.
- Do not open the lid of the rice cooker to check the cake before 4 cycles of “cooking” and “heating”. Doing this can cause the pie to deflate.
