Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg whites and granulated sugar for about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add coconut milk, mixing until smooth. Fold in shredded coconut, rice flour, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 45 minutes until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  4. Remove from oven and whisk the egg yolks in a small bowl. Brush over the cake and broil for 5-10 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.
  5. Let the cake cool to room temperature on a wire rack and then refrigerate for at least 8 hours before slicing.
  6. Cut the cake into squares or triangles and serve chilled or at room temperature.
