A delicious Glutinous Rice Cake | Oil-Free, Low-Calorie, […]
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Eggs (beaten) | 275g (5 large or 6 small eggs) |
| Caster sugar | 75–90g (adjust to taste) |
| Salt | 1.5 as needed |
| Honey | 8 as needed |
| Glutinous rice flour (water-milled) | 165 as needed |
| Aluminum-free baking powder | 5 as needed |
| Lemon juice | 2 as needed |

Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F). Prepare your molds. For the whole-egg sponge: crack the eggs into a large bowl, add lemon juice, caster sugar, salt, and honey.

Beat on high speed with an electric mixer.

Beat until you can draw a clear figure-8 with the batter — the ribbon should hold its shape without disappearing, and the batter should be thick and ribbon-like.

Sift together the glutinous rice flour and baking powder. Add to the egg mixture in two batches, folding gently from the bottom up with a spatula to avoid deflating the batter.

Continue folding until just combined — no dry flour visible.

Transfer the batter to a piping bag and fill the molds 80–90% full.

Sprinkle white sesame seeds on top for decoration and extra crunch.

Bake on the middle-lower rack at 170°C (340°F) for 18–20 minutes, top and bottom heat.

The cakes are done when the tops are golden brown.

Remove from the oven, tap the pan gently on the counter, and transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool.

The finished cakes are golden and fragrant.

The aroma fills the whole house!

Crispy on the outside, chewy and soft on the inside — absolutely delicious.
