Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

3 cups glutinous rice flour aka Mochiko flour
1 cup white granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
⅛ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

400 ml coconut milk canned, light or whole fat will work
1 ½ cup water
7 tablespoon butter melted & cooled (or sub with vegan butter or neutral tasting oil)
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease or line a deep 9 x 9 seamless baking pan with parchment paper. If you're using a muffin pan, grease it or line it with muffin cups.
In a large bowl, sift your dry ingredients. Whisk them together until well combined.
In another bowl, mix together your wet ingredients mixing in the egg lasts so the butter does not cook the eggs.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
Pour the batter into the baking dish or muffin tin.
If using a baking pan, bake for 60-65 minutes on the middle rack. If using a muffin tin, bake for 40-45 minutes on the middle rack. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Transfer cake to a wire rack to cool.
Allow this to cool completely before slicing with a wet knife. Enjoy!

Notes

How long does this last for?

It will last up to 3 days stored in an airtight container at room temperature and up to a week in the fridge. I like to reheat mine in a toaster oven at 350 F (3-5 minutes) or microwave (30 seconds) until it's warm.
