Chocolate Crazy Cake
This is a recipe I grew up with. It just happens to be a Vegan recipe.
It is very easy to mix and is moist and delicious. I love recipes that
use simple pantry items! It is amazing how well the Steamer/Rice
Cooker bakes cakes. Try it with your favorite recipe or a boxed mix.
Bake no more than 3 cups of batter per batch.
Makes 4 - 6 Servings
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons good-quality unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/4 teaspoon iodized salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup water
1 tablespoon white, cider or wine vinegar
METHOD
1 Pour all ingredients into (ungreased) Steamer/Rice Cooker Pot. Stir
until combined. A few lumps will remain and batter will be quite thin.
2 Close lid and press COOK. After a few minutes, the Steamer/Rice
Cooker will switch to KEEP WARM even though the cake is not done.
This is normal. Keep Steamer/Rice Cooker on KEEP WARM setting
for about 10 minutes, and then press COOK again. The cooker will
switch to KEEP WARM again but this is okay. After 30 minutes or
so, open and check cake with a toothpick. When inserted slightly
off-center and then removed, moist crumbs should cling to
the toothpick.
3 Remove with potholders and invert onto serving plate. Wipe out
Steamer/Rice Cooker Pot and make glaze in it (recipe follows).

Chocolate Glaze for Crazy Cake
This is such an easy recipe. It uses simple pantry staples and tastes
so good. I use it for an ice cream topping, as a filling for cookies, and
a topping for waffles and even cream puffs.
Makes 1 cup
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
small pinch kosher salt or very small pinch iodized salt
METHOD
1 Combine all ingredients in Steamer/Rice Cooker Pot. Press COOK.
Do not close the lid.
2 When mixture comes to a full boil, unplug pot and carefully remove
Steamer/Rice Cooker Pot, using potholders. Pour hot glaze over
Crazy Cake. Serve warm.
