How to make cake in rice cooker

Ingredients: 500g glutinous rice, 500g red dates, auxiliary ingredients: appropriate amount of water

1. Wash the glutinous rice and soak it in cold water for more than 8 hours; spread a layer of soaked glutinous rice in the rice cooker, about one centimeter thick; wash the red dates and soak them in warm water; spread a layer of red dates evenly on the rice.

2. Spread the remaining rice on the red dates and compact it; take a small cup and fill it with water, pour the water into the pot in a circular, even and slow manner (be sure to pour the water slowly, otherwise all the dates will float up), until the water and rice are level (the water does not need to cover the rice, just level, the rice has been soaked for 8 hours and has absorbed enough water). Cover the pot and press the fine cooking button.

3. After cooking, open the pot lid and press the glutinous rice firmly with a scraper or spoon; put the lid back on and keep warm for 2 hours before turning off the power; when the cake is cool, pry along the edge of the pot with a rice spatula, turn the cake upside down on the panel and cut it open before eating.
