Ingredients

• 400 grams Glutinous rice flour (mochiko)
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 400 milliliters Coconut milk
• 150 milliliters Whole milk
• 2 pieces Eggs, large
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish. Alternatively, line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the glutinous rice flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, coconut milk, whole milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and the eggs are fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously with a whisk or spatula to form a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth out the surface with a spatula to ensure an even layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the mochi cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares or rectangles.

Step 8

Serve at room temperature. Enjoy on its own or with a cup of tea or coffee!
