Ingredients

  • cooking spray

  • 1 pound sweet rice flour (mochiko)

  • 2 ½ cups white sugar

  • 2 cups water

  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • potato starch or kinako for rolling

Directions

  2. Combine mochiko and sugar in a bowl. Add water, coconut milk, and vanilla; stir everything together until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

  4. Remove the pan from the microwave and set on a cooling rack. Cool for about 90 minutes.

  5. Cut cake into 16 pieces and roll in potato starch or kinako.

Cook's Note:
