Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter or non-dairy butter alternative
  • 3/4 cup sugar (organic) use a little more if using regular sugar
  • 2 cans of non-fat evaporated milk (12 oz each) or 2 cans of coconut milk or 3 cups of milk allergy safe substitute

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 °F and spray a 13 x 9 glass baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Microwave the butter in a large bowl, 30 seconds at a time until it is 75% melted (a quick stir will melt it the rest of the way).

  • Add rice flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, and grated coconut (if desired) and beat with a mixer until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
