Rice Cooker Cake: Kurma Cake

The fasting season is near and that means having buah kurma (dates) in abundance everywhere. I love eating kurma. The moment I see shops starting to sell kurma, I’ll go grab several boxes home but Ethan doesn’t fancy kurma. In fact, he won’t even touch it. Well, that boy doesn’t even eat bananas but loves eating my banana cake so that got me wondered if he’ll eat kurma cake.

Again, it took two bakings to get this right. The first turned out too heavy and dense. Today’s bake is fluffy and nice so I’m going to share it with you :)

        sayangnya.. husband you…

  • //

    He eats and loves the cake even knowing there’s the fruit that he dislikes in it? Amazing. I’m not as easy as Ethan then! I would accuse my mom of trying to trick me instead XD

    • //

      Pls pls crossing fingers Ethan wont grow to be like u :P

  • //

    Ooh, I’ll try this at home. I love dates too! It’s my sugar replenishing for long boring lectures back in uni days.

    • //

      Haha ‘long boring lectures’! Definitely need some sugar boost to keep u alert there :)

  • //

    I am sure this cake is very tasty. When eating the cake, can taste the kurma or not? If not, no wonder Ethan loves it because he can’t taste the kurma that he dislikes in it.

    • //

      It has that kurma sweetness definitely. But of coz not as sweet as eating kurma on its own:)

  • //

    Fantastic! Merryn, you are just getting better in baking cakes with rice cooker. Your cake looks so fluffy and lovely. Good that you get your boys to help you in baking.

    Be a mommy definitely not easy! Have to transform the fruits/veggies that kids don’t like into another food =.=”
