Ingredients

  • 4 cups rice flour
  • 2 cups lukewarm water
  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 4 teaspoons tapioca starch
  • 1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons oil, or as needed

Directions

Step 1
Whisk rice flour, water, coconut milk, sugar, tapioca starch, yeast, vanilla extract, and salt together in a bowl until smooth. Cover with a lid. Let batter rest until air bubbles rise to the surface, about 2 hours. Stir well.

Step 2
Grease cake molds with oil. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Place cake molds on top and pour batter into each, leaving 1 3/4 inches of space at the top for rising. Bring water to a boil. Cover and steam until a toothpick inserted into a cake comes out clean, about 10 minutes.

Cook?s Note

If it's winter, place the batter into the oven or any warm place. In the summer, keep it at room temperature.If using food coloring, divide the batter into three bowls and drop your favorite colors into each.Use small heat-proof bowls if you don't have cake molds.
