  5. Pour batter into prepared cake pan and cover with foil, then add inch long slits in the foil at 12 / 3/ 6 and 9 o’ clock.
  6. Place steam rack into inner pot and pour 250ml into pot, with the covered cake pan on rack, and put on the lid.
  7. Select Slow Cook on High and program to 1 hour 30 minutes. (Cook additional time, if necessary, until a wooden pick inserted in centre comes out clean.)
