Ingredients

  • 2 cups water, for steaming
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, for dusting pan
  • 1 box (16 1/4 ounces) white cake mix, prepared per box instructions
  • 1 countainer (14 ounces) vanilla frosting
  • Rainbow sprinkles, for topping as desired

Utensils needed

  • Measuring Cups
  • Medium Bowl
  • Toothpicks
  • Whisk

Instructions

Step 1
Pour 2 cups water into the pot. Push in the legs on the Crisper Tray, then place the tray in the bottom position in the pot. Spray the Multi-Purpose Pan (or 8-inch round baking pan) with cooking spray, then dust the bottom and sides of the pan with a thin layer of flour.

Step 2
To make the cake batter, prepare according to the directions on the cake mix box. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and place the pan on the tray.

Step 3
Close the lid and flip the SmartSwitch™ to Rapid Cooker. Select STEAM & BAKE, set temperature to 315°F, and set time to 17 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin cooking (the unit will steam for approx. 20 minutes before baking).

Step 4
When cooking is complete, check doneness by inserting a wooden toothpick into the middle of the cake. If it comes out clean, carefully remove the tray with pan and let cool for at least 1 hour. If the toothpick comes out with moist crumbs stuck to it, continue to bake until cooked all the way through.

Step 5
When the cake is cooled, frost with vanilla frosting and top with rainbow sprinkles.
