The trick is to steam them. Thats actually what they do in japan and is what makes them fluffy.
I actually prefer low heat oven and a small pan with high walls. But otherwise use a cake pan with a parchment paper circle in the bottom on a steamer lifter and some water in the bottom of the pressure cooker.
Now the neat part is to make favored steam cakes like matcha and chocolate chip or ube.
There’s not much more to it. Mix up your pancake batter the way you would normally, put it in the rice cooker (one of the simple ones that’s just “cook” or “warm”), turn it on, then a bit later enjoy your giant pancake. I am an abysmal cook but the only problem I had with it was getting it out because I didn’t grease the inside of the cooker.
I did a quick DDG search for “rice cooker pancake.” There are plenty of results (it went viral on Reddit a long time ago, which is why I tried it). Here’s one from Allrecipes:
I once made a cake sized pancake using a rice cooker and regular American pancake batter.
I must know more, any specifics you can remember?

See the thing is, and there’s nothing wrong with this, you baked a cake.
Yes, in a pan.
