Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 45 minutes

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoon(s) shredded, sweetened coconut
4 - large eggs
1 pound(s) rice flour (about 3 cups)
3 cup(s) whole milk
2 1/2 cup(s) granulated sugar
3 tablespoon(s) unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for coating the baking dish
1 teaspoon(s) coconut extract
1/4 teaspoon(s) fine salt

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Coat a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with butter; set aside.
  • Place the coconut in a single layer on a small baking sheet and bake until toasted and golden brown in color, about 5 minutes; set aside.
  • Place the eggs in a large bowl and lightly beat to break up the yolks. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and bake for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the toasted coconut, rotate the dish, and bake until the edges are just starting to brown and the top is just set (a bubble may form, but it will flatten as the cake cools), about 20 to 25 minutes more.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 30 minutes before serving. Wrap leftovers tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

CHINESE NEW YEAR TURNIP CAKE RECIPE | ALLRECIPES
This recipe is handed down from my mom's mom. This is NOT a dessert (not sweet), but more like a 'quick bread' for the Chinese. This 'cake' is usually made and eaten during the Chinese New Year or its slices are usually found all year round among the DIM-SUMs in the Chinese restaurants. You can chill it in the fridge, but it should always be eaten HOT after re-heating either in the microwave, or frying in a few tablespoons of oil. This cake can be kept for 1 week in the fridge (but usually it's finished within a day!!)
