Cooking Instructions
- 1
Gather the ingredients.
- 2
Grease a 9x13” pan. I used melted butter, but you can also use cooking spray (I.e. Pam).
- 3
Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
- 4
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Set aside to cool slightly.
- 5
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients (mochiko flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and sugar). Whisk to combine.
- 6
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs until well blended.
- 7
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the eggs. Whisk again until well combined.
- 8
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix.
- 9
Add the coconut milk and melted butter. Stir well until no lumps remain.
Because rice flour has no gluten, you can mix vigorously at this step without worrying about the cake being tough.
- 10
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Tap the pan against the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles.
- 11
If you prefer, sprinkle shredded coconut on top of the batter. Sprinkle it gently so that it stays on the top instead of sinking in.
Since not everyone in my family likes coconut, I only sprinkled it on half of the cake.
- 12
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes, or until the top of the cake is golden brown.
- 13
Allow the cake to cool for at least one hour before slicing into small pieces. A little bit of this cake goes a long way!
- 14
Store any leftover cake at room temperature in a sealed container for up to 3 days. Do not place it into the refrigerator or else the cake will harden.

Ube Mochi Cake Ube Mochi Cake

Chocolate Mochi Cake Chocolate Mochi Cake
This is a great little cake that goes well with coffee or tea. Like all mochi cakes, it has a nice springy, slightly chewy texture. Please note that this is not a super sweet cake. If you’re seeking a boost of extra sweetness, try drizzling it with a bit of caramel or melted chocolate. This is an amalgamation of a couple of recipes posted elsewhere. Next time, I think I’ll try adding a bit of espresso powder to the batter!

Make it at Home! Chestnut Mochi Cakes Make it at Home! Chestnut Mochi Cakes
On October 17, 2010, I went with user "Pon-Pon-Do-chan" to Nakatsugawa in Gifu to eat chestnut mochi cakes and kuri-kinton. It was my first time to eat chestnut mochi cakes! I was shocked to find that the expiration is 2 hours! By chance, when making kuri-kinton, I created chestnut powder, and thought maybe I could make a homemade version, so I posted it here.Use your choice of rice cake and microwave to soften it. In order to produce the texture of freshly pounded rice cakes, I microwaved them rather than grilling them. But be sure to eat while still soft. I stored my leftover chestnut powder in the freezer. That way, you can enjoy as many as you want to eat, even in small amounts. Recipe by Akkonee

Easy Sakura Mochi (Cherry Blossom Rice Cake) from Cooked Rice Easy Sakura Mochi (Cherry Blossom Rice Cake) from Cooked Rice
I have learned how to make sakura mochi, but I didn't have rice flour, domyoji flour, or a cherry blossom leaf...I wanted to make a sakura mochi easily, so I came up with this recipe.-A little amount of the red food colouring is enough to turn the rice pink, so don't add too much. If you add too much, the rice turns red.-A pinch of salt gives the rice a salty kick, and it will taste like the authentic sakura mochi. If you don't have the salted cherry blossom leaf, add little more salt in the rice to adjust the taste. I taste the mixture at the Step 3, and adjust the taste to my liking. Recipe by Marrietty
