    The ingredients for making red bean glutinous rice cake
  • Preheat the oven to 350° F/ 175° C. Line a cake pan with parchment paper.
  • Crack the egg whites and yolks into a bowl. Discard the egg shells.
  • Beat the eggs until the whites and yolks are combined.
  • Mix the wet ingredients together (the eggs, oil, and coconut mik) until combined.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together (the glutinous rice flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar if you're using sugar) until fully combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Stir until well combined. The batter will be quite thin.

  • Stir until the red bean is spread evenly throughout the batter.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan.
  • Drop teaspoon-sized pieces of red bean into the batter. Top with nuts, such as pecans, walnuts, or cashews, if desired.
  • Bake for 45 minutes in the oven. Check the cake with a cake tester. It is done when the tester comes out clean (with some sticky residue). Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
