Step 1

Wash 2 sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.

Step 2

Place the sweet potatoes on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Flip them over and microwave for an additional 3 minutes, or until they’re soft and easily pierced with a fork. (Microwave times can vary, so check for doneness and add 1-2 minutes if needed.)

Step 3

Let the sweet potatoes cool for a few minutes until safe to handle. Slice them open and scoop out the flesh, discarding the skin.

Step 4

Place the cooked sweet potato flesh in a bowl and mash it with a fork. Add sweetened condensed milk (or sugar) to taste, mixing until well combined.

Step 5

Place the sweet potato puree onto a piece of plastic food wrap, shape it into a ball, then flatten it into a pancake-like disc that's slightly smaller than the baking pan. Put it aside.

Step 6

Line a 7 to 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C).

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the beaten eggs, melted butter, and milk to the bowl.

Step 8

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared cake pan. Place the prepared sweet potato filling and 3 to 4 slices of American cheese (optional) in the center. Pour the remaining batter over the filling.

Step 9

Place the pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake at 355°F (180°C) for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the rice cake comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Gently lift the parchment paper to remove the cake, then transfer it onto a cutting board. Slice into pieces.

Step 11

Optionally drizzle sweetened condensed milk on top for added flavor.
