A very coconutty and chewy rice flour dessert. Traditionally, this is baked in banana leaves, but my family prefers the crispy edges, which is why I use a sheet pan. I have been testing out several types of chewy desserts using rice flour, and this seems to be the favorite.

This moist coconut pound cake is a real crowd-pleaser. I use this recipe for making wedding cake layers.
Mango-Mint Lassi with Indian Sweet Spices
This mango-mint lassi with Indian sweet spices recipe is a great take on the famous mango lassi found in Indian restaurants. This version takes the flavor to a higher, more complex level with star anise and cardamom.
Trinidad Black Cake
This Trinidad black cake is my absolute favorite dessert for the holidays. I would always look forward to this season just to get a piece of this cake. The longer the fruit sits in the alcohol, the better it tastes — and the same goes for the cake! You should plan to make this recipe a few days ahead of serving the tasty treat for good measure. But make sure you have it wrapped properly if you want to leave it sitting for a long time.
