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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

If using sesame seeds, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the batter.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve the sweet rice cakes as is, or pair them with a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk or additional coconut milk for added flavor.
