mochi cake

i saw this on cindy's blog and i knew i wanted to give it a try. it's really simple to make and really yummy!

i changed a few things on the recipe, but it still ended up tasting really good. i didn't have white sugar so i substituted it for brown, which is also why my cake turned out a bit brown. also, i figured the mochiko flour would be sweet so i put less sugar than the required amount.

here's the recipe:

Ingredients:
1 lb box mochiko flour
1 3/4 cups brown sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 14 oz cans coconut milk (not lowfat)
5 eggs
1/4 cup of butter melted and slightly cooled
1 tsp of vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all your dry ingredients separately from your wet ingredients. Pour dry ingredients slowly into wet and mix all together. Pour batter into a non-stick 9x13 baking pan. Bake for 90 minutes or until cake pulls away from sides of pan. I baked mine for around 75 minutes so I suppose it depends on your oven.

The result? Slightly chewy, slightly moist. Not quite cake, not quite mochi but super yummy. I think you could actually put less sugar and it'll still be yummy.
