Ingredients:

• 2 eggs, separated
• 1¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2¼ cup full-fat canned coconut milk
• 3 cups shredded sweetened coconut
• 1½ cup glutinous rice flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan and set aside.
2. Prepare the Batter:
   In a medium bowl, whisk the egg whites and granulated sugar together until well combined. Gradually stir in the coconut milk, shredded coconut, glutinous rice flour, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly, ensuring the batter is smooth with no lumps of coconut. The mixture will be thin and liquid-like.
3. Bake the Cake:
   Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the cake is set and slightly golden on top.
4. Egg Yolk Glaze:
   Once the cake is baked, carefully remove it from the oven. Brush the beaten egg yolks evenly over the top of the cake. Set your oven to broil and return the cake to the oven for 5-10 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning. Remove from the oven once the top is golden brown.
5. Cool and Set:
   Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (or overnight) to allow it to set and develop its sticky texture.
6. Serve:
   Once the cake is fully chilled and set, cut it into squares or triangles. You can serve it chilled for a refreshing treat or at room temperature for a softer bite.
