Recipes Using Rice Flour

Asian Asian Fruit Cakes

Bika Ambon

Indonesian cuisine's hidden gem! Bika Ambon is a luscious, sweet treat with a texture similar to a crumpet, but far richer and more decadent. This traditional cake boasts a delightful coconut flavor, achieved using both fresh coconut water and rich coconut milk. A small slice is all you need to satisfy your sweet tooth. Learn how to make this incredible cake at home with our easy-to-follow recipe. Note: Fresh coconut water is key – avoid using overly ripe coconuts, as the water can be bitter.
