CHEWY COCONUT BIBINGKA (FILIPINO RICE CAKE)



Chewy Coconut Bibingka (Filipino Rice Cake) image

A very coconutty and chewy rice flour dessert. Traditionally, this is baked in banana leaves, but my family prefers the crispy edges, which is why I use a sheet pan. I have been testing out several types of chewy desserts using rice flour, and this seems to be the favorite.

MOCHIKO AN "CAKE"



Mochiko an

****Please Note: The texture of this confection is more like mochi and not very much like cake.**** Another recipe from a friend...this is really a different an and mochi combination. The an is mixed right into the mochiko and it makes for a really nice flavor. The texture is really gooey, just like mochi should be!

LEMON MOCHI CAKE



Lemon Mochi Cake image

I wanted to use my mochiko flour and found this recipe online from the Honolulu advisor. I tweaked it by adding less sugar and skipping the coconut and it turned out so well. It's like mochi but more cake-y or like a cake but chewy. Definitely will make again! Tastes even better the next day.

MOCHI CAKE, ANY WAY YOU WANT IT



Mochi Cake, Any Way You Want It image

Gooey-bouncy on the inside and crispy-chewy on the outside, mochi cake is a texture we just can't get enough of. Made from glutinous sweet rice flour, it's naturally gluten-free, and this version can even be made dairy-free by using coconut oil and milk. Our recipe is based on Hawaiian butter mochi, but is less sweet and highly adaptable. You can mix and match flavors and spices, though make sure to add an additional three tablespoons rice flour if you don't want to add a powdered flavoring. Bake in a round cake pan for elegant wedges, a baking pan for gooey squares, or a muffin pan for more crispy-chewy edges.

Yield One 9"-diameter cake, one 8x8" square cake, or 14 standard cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 Tbsp. unsalted butter or virgin coconut oil, melted, plus more for pan
1½ cups (300 g) sugar, plus more for pan
1 (13.5-oz.) can unsweetened coconut milk or 1⅔ cups half-and-half
2 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. kosher salt
2 cups (254 g) glutinous sweet rice flour, preferably Koda Farms Blue Star Mochiko
3 Tbsp. powdered flavoring of choice (such as unsweetened cocoa powder, pandan leaf powder, or malted milk powder) or 1 Tbsp. matcha powder plus 2 Tbsp. glutinous sweet rice flour or 3 Tbsp. glutinous sweet rice flour
1 tsp. ground spice of choice (such as cinnamon, cardamom, or turmeric)
1 tsp. baking powder
¼-⅓ cup unsweetened shredded coconut or sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter a 9"-diameter cake pan or an 8x8" baking pan or 14 cups of two standard 12-cup muffin pans. (If you only have 1 muffin pan, you can bake the extra batter in a small loaf pan or mini muffin pan, or just discard it.) Generously coat pan with sugar, tapping out excess (about ¼ cup should do it).
  • Place 1½ cups (300 g) sugar and 6 Tbsp. butter in a large bowl. If using coconut milk, heat in a small saucepan over medium, whisking constantly, until no clumps remain, then whisk into sugar mixture. If using half-and-half, whisk directly into sugar mixture. Add eggs, vanilla, and salt and whisk to combine.
  • Whisk rice flour, powdered flavoring of choice (or 3 Tbsp. more rice flour), spice of choice, and baking powder in a medium bowl to combine, then whisk into egg mixture. Scrape batter into prepared pan and sprinkle with coconut or sesame seeds.
  • Bake until top begins to crack and cake springs back when gently pressed, 55-65 minutes for cake and 45-55 minutes for cupcakes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cake cool in pan 10 minutes. Run a knife around perimeter of cake, place a plate over pan, and invert cake onto plate. Hold wire rack over cake and invert cake onto rack (simply turn cupcakes out onto rack and turn over). Let cool completely.
  • Do ahead: Cake can be baked 5 days ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.

Tips:

  • For a gluten-free mochiko cake, use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.
  • If you don't have mochiko flour, you can make your own by grinding sweet rice flour in a blender or food processor.
  • To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting or serving.
  • Mochiko cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Mochiko cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's a popular Filipino treat that is often served at parties and gatherings. With its chewy texture and sweet flavor, mochiko cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious and unique dessert, give mochiko cake a try!
