To embark on this chewy cake lag with me, you have to first teach me that you’re down with your baked honest being green, and then confirm that you’re on board with a cake texture in inequity to any cake on your past (until you enjoy made this before). Dense and gummy in a honest scheme—the model of cake you would maybe moreover in actuality sink your teeth into and entirely with out “crumb”— right here is a block of coconut-y, green tea goodness that I could maybe not derive sufficient of.
Substances:
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 4 eggs
- One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
- One thirteen half-ounce can coconut milk
- 1 half teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups glutinous rice flour, like Mochiko (accessible at Japanese markets)
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon matcha powder
- 1 massive handful of shredded coconut (I archaic a sweetened vary due to I appreciate that stuff—and this dessert, despite the 2 cups of sugar, is now not innately that candy — however you blueprint you!), for sprinkling
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a rectangular 9- by thirteen-ride pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to dangle over the perimeters.
- In a enormous bowl, beat butter and eggs alongside with a traipse until tender. Then add the milks and the vanilla, stirring to combine.
- In a separate bowl, mix the rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and matcha together in a separate bowl.
- Add the dry mixture to the moist, and mix until you enjoy a thick-ish, nearly pancake-like batter—excluding, you admire, it be green and smells like tea and loveliness.
- Pour the batter into ready pan and baked for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a fork caught into the heart comes out neat (this can light be jiggly-ish even when! It’s mochi) and the perimeters enjoy browned a minute bit and are peeling a long way from the perimeters of the pan.
- Allow to chill a minute bit before putting off cake from pan (pull it out by the parchment paper overhang). High with a liberal sprinkling of shredded coconut. Allow to chill completely, then minimize up into 24 minute squares. You would maybe maybe presumably presumably want to flour the perimeters of your knife as a ability to nick attend even when, especially honest after the cake has cooled.
- Mochi cake freezes comely effectively! Store it in an hermetic container with layers separated by parchment paper.
