Discover the delightful flavors of this Filipino favorite: Caramel-Coated Sticky Rice Cake (Bibingkang Malagkit). Made with glutinous rice and a decadent caramel sauce, it's a perfect dessert for any special occasion or family gathering.
In a medium-sized bowl, soak the glutinous rice in 3 cups of water for 1 hour. After an hour, drain the rice.

Place the soaked rice in a rice cooker and add 1 1/2 cups of water. Turn on the rice cooker and cook the rice according to the rice cooker instructions.
3
In a medium-sized pan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, dark brown sugar, and salt. Cook the mixture, stirring continuously, until it thickens and forms a sticky caramel sauce.
4
Preheat the oven broiler with the oven rack in the middle position. Set aside 1/2 cup of the caramel sauce for topping.
5
In a small flat baking pan, gently mix the cooked sticky rice with the remaining caramel sauce, ensuring the rice is evenly coated. Flatten the rice in the pan and drizzle the top with the 1/2 cup of reserved caramel sauce.
6
Place the baking pan on the middle oven rack and broil on high until the caramel is lightly charred but not burned. Keep a close eye on it to avoid burning.
