In a rice cooker or a large pot, add the rinsed rice along with 4 cups of water. Let it soak for 30 minutes.
After soaking, cook the rice according to the instructions of your rice cooker or on the stovetop until it is fully cooked and fluffy.
Step 2: Making the Milk Mixture
In a separate pot, heat the milk over medium heat until it comes to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add sugar, cardamom powder, chopped almonds, raisins, and a pinch of salt.
Stir the mixture until the sugar is dissolved and the flavors are well combined.
Let the milk mixture simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Step 3: Combining Rice and Milk Mixture
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and transfer it to a heatproof bowl or cake pan.
Pour the milk mixture over the rice, ensuring that all the rice is evenly coated.
Gently stir the rice and milk mixture together, making sure they are well combined.

Step 4: Steaming the Cake
Fill a steamer or a large pot with a few inches of water and bring it to a boil.
Place the heatproof bowl or cake pan with the rice and milk mixture into the steamer or on top of a steamer insert.
Cover the steamer with a tight-fitting lid and steam the cake for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until it is set and firm.
Step 5: Cooling and Serving
Once the cake is steamed, carefully remove it from the steamer and let it cool for a few minutes.
Once cooled, refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow it to set completely.
Once chilled, cut the Milk Rice Cake into desired shapes, such as squares or diamonds.
Serve the cake chilled as a delightful dessert or a sweet breakfast option.

Is Milk Rice Cake Organic?
The milk rice cake recipe is not organic. It contains a few ingredients that are not organic, such as salt and butter, but those are fairly common ingredients in most recipes.
The best thing to do would be to find a source of organic products to make it healthier.
Is Dessert Rice Cake Recipe Korean?
Milk rice cake recipes are popular snack items in Taiwan and Korea. It’s a bit of a regional thing, so that the recipe can vary from one part of the country to another.
In Taiwan, you make the dough with eggs instead of milk, so it’s a little more egg-heavy than this version. Here in Indonesia,
we have another similar dish called nasi panggang which also includes some noodles and beef (green onions).
Can I Use Regular Flour Instead Of Glutinous Rice Flour?
Yes! You can use regular flour instead of rice flour. I just like rice flour because it produces a lighter, fluffier cake.
Regular flour will still make a soft dessert much better than store-bought cakes and cookies!
Is Mochi Flour The Same As Rice Flour?
Mochi flour is just regular white flour. There is no difference between mochi and rice flour in this recipe.
If you can’t find mochi flour, you can use any regular flour or white rice flour.
What Does Milk Rice Cake Recipe Taste Like?
The milk rice cake recipe is the stuff dreams (sweet and savory) are made of. It’s not as sweet as you would think for being named “cake,” but it has that great balance of flavor you crave when you want something comforting and special.
The texture is light, soft, and fluffy, similar to pancake batter; very similar to a Japanese rice flour dish I make from time to time.
How Do You Keep Milk Rice Cake Fresh?
Store-bought cakes and cookies can go stale after a couple of days, but if you’re not in a rush to eat this, you can store your milk rice cake in the refrigerator for 3 days or in your freezer for a month.
Before eating it again, make sure you heat it in the microwave, so it’s completely warm and soft again – just enough to melt the delicious butter on top.
