🧂 食材
- 2 cups Long-grain rice(soaked overnight and drained)
- 1 sachet (7g) Yeast(activated in 20ml warm water with 1/2 tsp sugar)
- 1 tin (400ml) Coconut milk
- 0.75 cup Sugar(adjust to taste)
- 5-6 pods Green cardamom pods(seeds ground or pods crushed)
- 1 large Egg white(optional, for extra lightness)

👨🍳 步骤
- 1
In a blender, combine the soaked and drained rice, activated yeast, coconut milk, sugar, and ground cardamom seeds. Blend until you achieve a smooth, pourable batter. You may need to do this in batches depending on your blender size.

If using an egg white, whisk it lightly and gently fold it into the batter for added lightness.
- 3
Pour the batter into a greased baking pan (a round, shallow pan works well). Cover the pan with a lid or plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the batter has risen and become frothy.
- 4
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown on top and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- 6
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
