Chinese Sticky Rice Cake, also known as nian gao, is a traditional Chinese dessert that is usually enjoyed during the Lunar New Year. It is made with glutinous rice flour, which gives it its signature sticky and chewy texture. This cake is often paired with red bean paste, which adds a sweet and nutty flavor to the dish. Although it is traditionally made during the Lunar New Year, you can enjoy this delicious cake any time of the year!

3.	Stir in beaten eggs and sweetened red bean paste until well combined.
4.	Pour batter into prepared baking dish, and sprinkle evenly with toasted sesame seeds.
5.	Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, or until cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
