Let’s make an easy roll cake using pancake mix.

With this recipe, you can create a cute polka-dot roll cake.

Separate the eggs into yolks and whites, and whip each with a whisk.

When you combine the yolks and whites at the end, switch to a rubber spatula and gently fold with cutting motions—that’s the key! First, bake the batter mixed with cocoa powder, then pour in the remaining batter and bake to create the polka-dot pattern.

Add your favorite fruits and whipped cream, roll it up, and it’s done.

This roll cake is easy to make even without an oven, making it perfect for snack activities in senior care facilities.

When you make pancakes on a hot plate set on the dining table, the time spent waiting as they cook is exciting and fun, isn’t it? In this video, we’re using a BRUNO design plate to cook pancakes, but of course you can make them on any regular hot plate, so how about trying this as a snack activity at a senior care facility? Mix the batter and pour it in.

When small bubbles appear and the sides look cooked and dry, that’s your cue to flip! They’re delicious as is, but preparing toppings like fruit and whipped cream makes them even more luxurious.

Wishing you a wonderful, fun time.

Let’s make cupcakes on a hot plate using a cupcake plate.

Since we’re using pancake mix as an ingredient, it’s super easy.

Once you’ve mixed the ingredients to make the batter, pour it into the cupcake plate and top with chocolate or jam.

The batter will rise as it bakes, so it’s fine to pour in a smaller amount.

If you insert a bamboo skewer and it comes out clean, they’re ready.

Being able to eat them while they’re warm is the best part of a snack-time activity! Be sure to make them together and enjoy warm cupcakes.

baked apple

Easy grilled apples—just cook on a hot plate
baked apple

With a griddle (hot plate), you can easily enjoy baked apples.

Melt butter on the preheated plate, then cook thinly sliced apples.

Cover with a lid to steam-cook them so they heat through more evenly.

Once both sides are browned, sprinkle granulated sugar to finish.

You can customize by adding cinnamon or serving with vanilla ice cream.

Baked apples may help with recovery from fatigue, and the pectin, which is abundant in the peel, supports digestive health—so it’s best to eat them with the skin on.

Try incorporating this into your snack time and enjoy sweet, delicious baked apples.

To keep the chocolate in a liquid state, simply maintain gentle heat.

Since you only need to cut up ingredients like fruit or baumkuchen, it’s quick and simple to make.

Even older adults may enjoy this novel way of eating—dipping ingredients like marshmallows or potato chips into the chocolate.

Making snacks with a hot plate is a recreational activity that’s easy, safe, and can be enjoyed with many people.
