I wanted to make an okara cake with cocoa flavor that had the texture of blancmange. Then I encountered a wonderful recipe for pear compote, and added that too.

Mix well in Step 2 to make a smooth batter. It's a moist and soft set mousse-like cake. For loaf pan: 18 x 8 x 6 cm [7 x 3 1/4 x 2 1/4 in]. Recipe by tearstar
