For enhanced flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. Feel free to experiment with other fruits like blueberries, chopped pecans, or cranberries. If you find the cake is browning too quickly, you can place a clean kitchen towel between the rice cooker lid and the bowl to reduce the heat. Serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of indulgence. Be patient! Some rice cookers cook faster than others, so keep a close eye on the cake during the cooking process.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Rice Cooker: Generously spray the bowl of your rice cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (1 minute)
02
StepCombine Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Ensure there are no lumps. (3 minutes)
03
StepSoak Bran Flakes: In a separate, large bowl, combine the crushed bran flakes, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Allow the bran flakes to soak and soften slightly, about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for a moist cake. (5 minutes)
04
StepIncorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and olive oil to the bran flake mixture. Stir well to combine everything thoroughly. (2 minutes)
05
StepCombine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough cake. A few streaks of flour are okay. (5 minutes)
06
StepFold in Fruits: Gently fold in the diced apple, banana, and raisins until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. (3 minutes)
07
StepCook in Rice Cooker: Pour the batter into the prepared rice cooker bowl. Close the lid and cook using the regular 'cook' cycle. (30 minutes)
08
StepCheck for Doneness: After the first cycle, check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, the cake is ready. If not, run the rice cooker for another cycle or until the toothpick test is successful. (5 minutes)
09
StepCool and Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the rice cooker bowl and let the cake cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
