Treat your ingredients with care...
- Glutinous rice flour — Make sure to use glutinous rice flour specifically made for desserts, as it has a higher starch content compared to regular rice flour, resulting in a chewier texture.
- Red beans — If using canned red beans, rinse them thoroughly to remove excess sugar syrup before mashing.
Tips & Tricks
- To enhance the flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom to the red bean mixture.
- If you prefer a sweeter cake, increase the amount of sugar in the batter.
- Serve the Red Bean Cake warm for a delightful experience.

Serve the Red Bean Cake as a dessert after a delicious Chinese meal. It pairs well with a cup of hot tea or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
