Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups glutinous rice flour
- 0.5 cups sugar
- 1.25 cups coconut milk
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with a thin layer of vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
If using sesame seeds, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the batter.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the rice cake to cool completely at room temperature before cutting into squares or rectangles for serving.
Serve the sweet rice cakes as is, or pair them with a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk or additional coconut milk for added flavor.
