Ingredients
Let's gather the ingredients!

- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1½ cups coconut cream or full fat coconut milk
- 3 eggs lightly beaten
- 1 banana leaf (optional)
- 1 salted duck egg sliced (optional)
- ½ cup grated coconut for topping (optional)

Instructions
Let's Begin!
- Firstly, Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the rice flours, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Add in melted butter, coconut cream, and eggs. Whisk until smooth.
- If using banana leaves, make sure to wash and dry before using. If not, Parchment paper works fine. Line a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with it. (Make sure there are no gaps).
- Butter the leaf or parchment generously, and trim edges leaving a 1- to 2-inch overhang.
- Pour mixture into the prepared skillet and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and top with salted egg and cheese.
- Return the skillet to the oven until the coconut rice cake is golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes more.
- Brush with more melted butter and sprinkle with grated coconut, if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy with family and friends!
