Ingredients
Scale
2 cups sweet rice flour (mochiko)
1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
3 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together sweet rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
Add coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla extract; stir gently until just mixed—avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to maintain the chewy texture.
Customize with fresh fruit, toasted coconut, or a dusting of powdered sugar on top.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
