Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 170 °C and butter a 20 cm square pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until pale, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the coconut milk, oil and vanilla, then mix.
  4. Stir in the rice flour, baking powder, salt and shredded coconut until you have a smooth batter.
  5. Pour into the pan and sprinkle with sesame and coconut as a topping.
  6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean, then let it cool slightly before cutting.

Variations and tips

Banana version. Add two very ripe mashed bananas to the batter for a moister, more fragrant cake.
