Steps:
- Soak rice in 3 1/2 cups water overnight.
- Combine rice with coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a rice cooker or heavy non-stick pot over medium low heat, stirring frequently until fully cooked. Add a little more water if needed. If you are using a rice cooker, keep cooker on warm setting until rice is cooked.
- Line a 9x13x2 inch pan with foil greased with butter.
- Transfer rice to pan and spread evenly; smoothing the top with the back of a spoon. Set aside.
- Combine flour and 4 tablespoons water in a small cup and stir to make a slurry and set aside.
- Combine brown sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and milk in a non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil.
- Stir in flour mixture and whisk until sauce has thickened and is smooth.
- Spread over rice evenly.
- Brown top under broiler for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Do not burn.
- Let cool at room temperature until firm and cut into pieces with a plastic knife.
- I decrease the sugars by 1/2 cup and cut the salt to 1/2 tsp as I do not like very sweet desserts. Sweet rice is available in Asian markets. The short grain sweet rice is normally used. Long-grained glutinous rice is used by Thai's for sweet sticky rice. Coconut milk can be purchased canned or frozen.

Steps:
- Place washed and drained sweet rice (malagkit) and water in rice cooker and cook until done. While rice is cooking, combine the yummy topping ingredients in a large saucepan and cook until it turns caramel-colored and reaches a thick syrupy stage, stirring occasionally. Set aside. Fluff cooked rice with paddle and stir in coconut cream and sugar, mixing well. Spread the rice mixture (don't press down but just smooth the top) into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Pour the thickened yummy topping on top of the rice cake and spread it out evenly. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 40 to 50 minutes.
Tips:
- For the best results, use glutinous rice that has been soaked overnight or for at least 8 hours.
- If you don't have a steamer, you can cook the rice cake in a pot of boiling water. Just make sure to cover the pot tightly so that the rice cake steams evenly.
- To make sure the rice cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the rice cake is ready.
- Let the rice cake cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
- Serve the rice cake with your favorite toppings, such as grated coconut, toasted sesame seeds, or fresh fruit.

Bibingkang malagkit is a delicious and versatile rice cake that can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack. It's easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying treat, give bibingkang malagkit a try!
