BUTTER MOCHI CAKE



Butter Mochi Cake image

This is a delectably rich, buttery, and simple-to-make rendition of the traditional Japanese dessert of red-bean mochi. Traditional Japanese mochi is made from sweet rice flour mixed with water, steamed, and formed into small patties filled with sweetened red bean paste and lightly dusted with confectioner's sugar. This butter mochi cake is a westernized version of the traditional mochi, for it incorporates butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla and is baked.

Time 1h40m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 ¼ cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups rice flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups milk
1 (18.75 ounce) can sweetened red bean paste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch Bundt pan or a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla and milk. Stir in the rice flour and baking powder. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Drop red bean paste by scant teaspoonfuls onto the top of the cake. If spoonfuls are too big, the filling will sink to the bottom.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cake springs back when lightly touched. If using a Bundt pan, invert the cake onto a serving plate. Cake must be completely cooled before unmolding from Bundt pan, or it will be too soft to hold its shape. Serve small slices of this very rich cake at room temperature or slightly warmed.

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.

Categories     Chocolate Cake

Time 1h30m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
3 cups sifted cake flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 ½ cups white sugar
1 tablespoon strong brewed coffee
2 teaspoons strong brewed coffee
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 large egg whites
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
4 ½ cups sifted powdered sugar
1 large egg yolk, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
  • Dissolve baking soda in buttermilk. Combine flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  • Beat butter in a mixing bowl until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Add flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture; mix well after each addition. Stir in 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons coffee and vanilla.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the creamed mixture. Pour batter into the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert cakes carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool, about 20 more minutes.
  • While the cake is cooling, beat butter and cocoa powder for frosting in a bowl until well creamed. Add powdered sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla and beat until smooth.
  • Stack the 3 cake layers on top of each other, spreading frosting between layers, and on top of the cake.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use glutinous rice flour, which gives mochi cake its characteristic chewy texture.
  • For a smoother batter, sift the dry ingredients together before adding them to the wet ingredients.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can make the cake tough.
  • If you are using a microwave to cook the cake, be sure to use a microwave-safe bowl and cover it with plastic wrap.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. Chilling the cake overnight will give it a firmer texture.

Conclusion:

Whether you prefer a simple cake with a dusting of powdered sugar or a more elaborate dessert with a sweet filling and frosting, there is a mochi cake recipe to suit your taste.
