CHOCOLATE BIRTHDAY CAKE BUTTER MOCHI
Sprinkles always bring joy to a cake, but add Pop Rocks and you have a celebration, complete with a mini fireworks show. This recipe from the chef Sheldon Simeon and Garrett Snyder's 2021 book, "Cook Real Hawai'i," takes chocolate butter mochi to the max with a creamy peanut butter topping and lots and lots of candy. Add the Pop Rocks just before serving; the candy has a tendency to ping off as it reacts with the moisture in the frosting. The butter mochi is best the day it is made, but will keep a couple of days covered in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Make the butter mochi: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with butter.
- In a microwave-safe large bowl, melt the 12 tablespoons butter and chocolate chips by microwaving on high in 30-second increments, stirring and repeating as needed, until just melted.
- Add the granulated sugar to the melted chocolate and stir until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and milks.
- In a large bowl, stir together the mochiko, baking powder and cocoa powder until evenly distributed. Fold the liquid chocolate mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until thoroughly mixed. When the batter is totally smooth, pour it into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly.
- As the cake cools, make the frosting: In a bowl with an electric mixer, whip together the peanut butter and Demerara sugar until the mixture has the texture of frosting.
- While the cake is still slightly warm, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Let cool to room temperature. Just before serving, sprinkle with Pop Rocks, if using, and shower sprinkles over the top, then cut into squares and serve.
THE BEST BUTTER MOCHI
Butter mochi is a favorite here in Hawaii. It's sweet, sticky, and chewy. It is made with mochiko flour, a glutinous rice flour that can be found in the Asian or Oriental section of most supermarkets.

BUTTER MOCHI
Tender and chewy, this big-batch dessert - as comforting as cake and as fun as bar cookies - is always a hit at parties. Mochiko, sweet rice flour, not only gives it its distinctive marshmallow-like softness, but it also lends a natural sweetness. This version of butter mochi uses only coconut milk for its richness and subtle nutty taste, but you can substitute equivalent amounts of whole milk, evaporated milk or a combination of those liquids. Butter mochi develops a crackly top that stays crunchy the day it's baked, making it a delicious dessert to eat without adornment. But, if you'd like more crunch, you can sprinkle dried shredded coconut evenly over the top before baking, or, for a tangy, colorful top, you can coat it with the passion fruit glaze below.

Steps:
- Make the mochi: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch cake pan, then line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
- Whisk the mochiko, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Prepare the batter in a stand mixer or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or whisk: Whisk the eggs and sugar until pale yellow and thick. Continue whisking while pouring in the coconut milk, then the butter and vanilla. Continue whisking while gradually adding the mochiko mixture. Whisk until the batter is completely smooth. Pour into the prepared pan, then tap it against the counter to get rid of any air bubbles.
- Bake until golden brown and crackly, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. When you press the center, it should bounce back but not indent at all. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Use the parchment paper to slide the cooled mochi out of the pan.
- The mochi is delicious plain, but you can add a glaze if you'd like: Mix the confectioners' sugar with 2 tablespoons passion fruit pulp until smooth. It should be thick but drippy. If needed, add another 1 to 2 tablespoons pulp. If you'd like to create an ombré or sunset effect, scrape some into another bowl or multiple bowls and tint with food coloring. Spread the glaze evenly over the mochi, in stripes if you'd like, and let stand until set.
- Cut the mochi into squares or bars. Serve immediately, or keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
COCOA BUTTER MOCHI
If you've had mochi before, this is not like the mochi you normally eat at New Years; it has a rich, slightly sweet, chocolate flavor. The mochiko powder can probably be found in the oriental section of your grocery store. A secretary in my office made this recipe; she got the recipe from one of those recipe cards you can get at the grocers. For the cocoa, the recipe says you can use Nestles ... I use Ghiradelli,

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl , combine wet ingredients.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture in small amounts.
- Mix until until all ingredients are well combined.
- Pour mixture in a 9" x 13" buttered pan- will also fit in two 8"x8" pans.
- Bake for 1 hr.
- Test with toothpick - comes out clean when done.
- Let cool before cutting.
- Yield may differ according to the size of the pieces-- suggest cutting in squares or 1"x2" rectangles -- it is rich.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your mochi. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao and has a rich, dark flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the mochi tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Be patient. Mochi takes time to make. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with a chewy, sticky mess.
- Let the mochi cool completely before cutting it. This will help prevent the mochi from sticking to your knife.
Conclusion:
Chocolate butter mochi is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give chocolate butter mochi a try!
