Preparation
In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar and cream cheese with a rubber spatula until they’re best buddies and well combined. Whisk in the egg until it’s all mixed in.
Add the zesty orange zest and a splash of lemon juice; whisk to combine. Now, whisk in the pancake mix and melted butter until just combined—no need to overmix!
Brush the bottom of your rice cooker bowl with a little melted butter. Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar and turn the bowl to spread it evenly. Arrange the sliced oranges all around the bottom and sides of the bowl in a cute pattern.
Pour the batter into the prepared bowl, pop it into the rice cooker, and cover with the lid.
Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the center of the cake springs back when gently pressed.
Enjoy your delightful citrusy creation!

This one-pot chicken and rice dish is a kitchen lifesaver! When you're super busy, this recipe can save the day by delivering a delicious meal with minimal fuss. Start by seasoning chicken thighs and searing them in a hot pan until they’re golden and juicy. Next, sauté some garlic and onions in the flavorful drippings left in the pan, letting them soak up all that deliciousness. Then, add the rice, broth, and those beautifully browned chicken thighs back into the pan. Cover it up and let everything simmer together, allowing the rice to absorb all the deep, savory flavors. If you're a fan of crispy skin, pop the chicken thighs under the broiler for a bit to add a delightful crunch. When the dish is ready, carry the pan to the table and unveil it to a chorus of “oohs” and “aahs.”
