Ingredients

  • 2 cups glutinous rice flour
  • 1 cup sugar plus 1 tablespoon for dusting
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • ½ cup evaporated or fresh milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
  • 1 cup sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, 1 cup of the sugar, coconut milk, evaporated milk, and eggs. Whisk together until batter is well-blended and smooth.
  • Generously grease an 11 x 9  baking dish or 10-inch cast-iron skillet with margarine or butter.
  • Transfer batter and bake in a 350 F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until mixture is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Take out from the oven and carefully push down areas that are puffed up. Generously brush the top with butter or margarine. 
  • Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and shredded cheese. 
  • Return to oven and bake for another 4 to 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and the top is golden.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • If using an 8 x 8 pan, the cake will be thicker and would require a longer cook time.
  • The sticky rice cake might puff up during baking. Don't worry, just push down gently to subside.
