What should I do if the rice cooker cake has a fishy smell? Why does the rice cooker cake always skip the keep warm mode?

Rice cooker cakes have been very popular on Douyin recently. Many people have bought the ingredients to make them at home. However, many people said that the rice cooker cakes they made have a strong fishy smell and are not delicious. Moreover, when making rice cooker cakes, the rice cooker always automatically switches to the keep warm mode. What should you do at this time? Let's take a look!

What to do if the rice cooker cake has a fishy smell

Add some white vinegar

The egg smell of rice cooker cake mainly comes from egg whites, so you can add a few drops of white vinegar when beating egg whites, which can not only make the egg whites be beaten better, but also make the egg whites have no fishy smell. If you have lemons at home, you can use lemon juice instead.

Add some vanilla extract

If you have the conditions at home, you can add 2-3 drops of vanilla extract when mixing the egg yolk paste, which can enhance the flavor of the cake and effectively remove the egg smell. The baked cake tastes like ice cream. You can also use vanilla pods directly and add the vanilla seeds inside. The effect is the same. However, the price of vanilla pods is more expensive.

Add some rum

When beating egg whites, you can also add some rum to help remove the fishy smell. Generally, adding 1/2 teaspoon of rum will work.

Why does the rice cooker cake always skip the keep warm mode?

If the rice cooker keeps jumping to the keep warm mode when making cakes, you can wait for about 2 minutes until the internal temperature of the rice cooker drops, and then adjust the rice cooker to the cooking mode again. If you can't press it, you can cover the exhaust hole with a towel, simmer for 20 minutes, and then press the cooking button. It will be ready after 20 minutes.

Can I make cake if the rice cooker doesn't have a cake button?

You can also make cakes in a rice cooker without a cake button. Just press the cooking button. If the rice cooker trips, cover the air outlet with a wet towel and press it again. Generally, it takes about 20-30 minutes to make cakes in a rice cooker. If you make a large amount, you can press it again and simmer for about 10 minutes.

How to make rice cooker cake without sticking to the pan

If you want to make a non-stick rice cooker cake, you should brush a layer of oil on the bottom of the pot before pouring the cake batter. It is also recommended to preheat the rice cooker for about 5 minutes. However, most rice cookers now have a non-stick film in the inner pot, which will not stick to the pot as long as it is not damaged.

In addition, it is not advisable to open the lid of the finished cake immediately. Wait for it to simmer for more than ten minutes before opening the pot. This will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan and from shrinking and collapsing easily.
