BUTTER MOCHI



Butter Mochi image

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.

Time 2h

Yield 1 (9-by-13-inch) cake

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons/84 grams unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for greasing the pan
3 cups/453 grams mochiko (sweet rice flour), like Blue Star brand
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
4 large eggs
2 cups/416 grams granulated sugar
2 (13.5-ounce) cans unsweetened coconut milk (scant 3 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 packed cups/219 grams confectioners' sugar
2 to 4 tablespoons passion fruit pulp or purée (see Tip)
Pink or red food coloring (optional)

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.

  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter, making the mochi cake light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will prevent the eggs from curdling.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined: Overmixing will result in a tough, dense mochi cake.
  • Bake the mochi cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Let the mochi cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Butter mochi is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little planning and effort, you can create a butter mochi cake that is sure to impress your friends and family.
