The trouble with cooking a cake in a multi-pot is that the heat is mostly transferred through conduction from the bottom.

Cakes in the oven are typically cooked using conduction and convection. Convection is how the top of the cake gets cooked. You have to overcook the cake to heat up the top part. That's not a good situation.

I have cooked cornbread in a rice cooker. I just let it go until it trips off and then finish the top part it in the microwave. I'll have to try steamed cornbread next. I had a Chinese steamed bun a few days ago. They are great and wonderful.
