Method
- Heat the oven to 180°C and line a round pan with softened banana leaves, brushing them with butter.
- Whisk glutinous rice flour, rice flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Beat eggs with coconut milk, evaporated milk, and melted butter, then mix into the dry ingredients until smooth.
- Pour into the lined pan and bake for 20 minutes, until the surface is set but still pale.
- Drizzle condensed milk over the top and cover evenly with grated cheese.
- Return to the oven for 12–15 minutes, until the cheese browns and the centre is springy rather than liquid.
- Cool 20 minutes before cutting so the chewy cake holds clean wedges.
