Life is but a Series of Steps. Some are strong & confident, some are slow & hesitant. Sometimes you stumble, sometimes you run. But you just need to keep going, & it's always great to find a special person, or 2 to hold your hand along the way.

Mochi Cake
I am really enjoying this new find, Mochiko flour makes such yummy cakes. Very moist, dense & chewy, very different from your normal cakes.
Now I thought mochiko would be hard to find, so the first time I went looking for it I went to a specialty store. It was there, of course. But since then I have found it in almost every grocery store I shop at!
Lemon Mochi Cake
Ingred;
1- 16oz box of Mochiko Flour
2c. Sugar
1-1/2T. Baking Powder
1 small pkg of Instant Lemon Pudding Mix
1 can (2c.) Coconut Milk
1c. reg. Milk
1/2c. melted Butter
5 Eggs, beaten
2t. Lemon extract/ or Juice
Heat oven to 350. Grease a 9x13 pan.
Stir together flour, sugar, b. powder, & pudding mix. Whisk in both of the milks until smooth. Stir in the butter, then the eggs, then the extract. Pour in to prepared pan and bake for 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool, then slice using a plastic knife.
You can vary the recipe by replacing the pudding & extract flavoring to other kinds.
Strawberry Mochi Cake
This is my entry for Rach's June Baking Challenge. The ingredient for this months challenge is Strawberries. I can't wait to see all the other goodies that people come up with!
You've got me very curious about this Mochiko flour! I wonder if my grocery store carries it? Did you find it with baking items or specialty items?
ReplyDeleteI have found it in both those places, the specialty store had it in the baking section, my reg. grocery store had it in the ethnic aisle. I bet they would special order it if they don't carry it. It's around 2.50 for a 1 lb box.
ReplyDeleteMy kids, my son especially, really enjoyed both these cakes :)
Ooh, you're early for the baking challenge!
ReplyDeleteLooks great though and you're making me curious to try mochi!
great job!
I've never even heard of Mochiko, but now I want to check it out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating! I love seeing what everyone else comes up with.
This looks so tasty!
