The invention discloses a glutinous rice cake making machine, which comprises a rotating shaft, a specially-shaped cam, a hammer arm, a hammer head, a direction arm and a cake container, wherein the specially-shaped cam is fixedly arranged on one end of the rotating shaft, the hammer head is fixed at one end of the hammer arm, the direction arm is fixed at the other end of the hammer arm, the cake container below corresponds to the hammer head, the specially-shaped cam rotating along the rotating shaft correspondingly acts on the direction arm, and a middle section of the hammer arm is hinged with the fixed shaft. The hammer head repeatedly beats cooked glutinous rice in the cake container by repeated contact and separation between the rotating specially-shaped cam and the direction arm, so as to finally make cakes. By simulating the traditional mode of manually beating cakes in the Korean nationality, the hammer head can naturally fall and beat glutinous rice cakes due to self weight, so that consumers visually feel no difference from manual cake beating, and the cake making mode is completely the same as that of the traditional manual production mode. The glutinous rice cake making machine is reasonable in design, simple and convenient to operate, time-saving and effort-saving, safe and sanitary, and the made cake is chewy, and good in mouth feel, and has the flavor of the traditional glutinous rice cake cakes.
