Mochiko Cake

on



I've been looking thinking of creative uses for mochiko. mochi cake is an easy, tasty recipe. The appearance is that of a cake, and the texture is in between a mochi and a cake. It's like a very chewy cake. I was slightly worried that the the crown daisy powder might affect the batter, but it worked out beautifully. The mochi cake is not very sweet, and is full of little bits of goodies. Enjoy!
