- Pour this into parchment lined baking tray. Place this in oven and bake for 50 mins to 1 hour. Remove and cool for 30 minutes, un-mould, and peel off the parchment paper. Cut into cubes and enjoy.
Notes
- Use glutinous rice flour | sweet rice flour for proper texture. It is also called as sushi rice flour | mochi flour | mochiko. Normal rice flour doesn't work.
- Don't skip on the butter, it adds nice flavour.
- Use thick creamy coconut milk for more coconut flavour.
- You can use evaporated milk instead of regular milk. but regular milk work just fine.
- Don't over bake the cake else it will turn hard.
- Use right size pan so the cake will have depth and more chewiness. I used larger pan so my cake was shallow. More thick cake taste more chewy and delicious.
Storage
If you can resist this cake stays good for 2 days at room temp. But it is best served fresh.Nutrition
