BAKING IN A RICE COOKER

Baking is the best! And we think there’s something so fun and practical about using a rice cooker instead of an oven. 

Because, whether you whip up a chiffon cake or a massive chocolate and blueberry pancake, if the oven stays off, that means you can enjoy your favorite sweets even in the middle of a summer heat wave.

Well, the same rules apply to this savory spinach tomato cake salé. 

Packed with Mediterranean favorites like sun dried tomatoes and feta cheese, we think you and your family are going to love it!

WHAT IS CAKE SALÉ?

First things first: cake salé is a French savory cake. In fact, salé from French to English literally translates to ‘salty’.

But there’s a lot more than salt alone going on in this savory cake recipe. Sliced sun dried tomatoes bring a tangy quality to the overall flavor profile that is further boosted by the brined, peppery saltiness of good quality Feta cheese crumbles.

Chopped spinach brings a garden fresh element to the mix. One bite of this soft and savory cake, and you’ll wonder how you ever got through life without this French delicacy in the steady rotation.

HOW TO MAKE SPINACH TOMATO CAKE SALÉ IN A RICE COOKER

First, make your batter according to the instructions above. Then add your spinach and feta to the batter and stir until combined.

Spray the inner pot of your Tiger multifunctional rice cooker with a little cooking spray and place the halved sun-dried tomatoes at the bottom.

Then just pour your batter in, select the Slow Cook setting for 45 minutes and press the Start button. And that’s it!

Plate your completed cake salé with the sun dried tomatoes facing up. Bon appétit!
