Description

A delightful treat with a chewy texture and sweet coconut flavor, perfect for dessert or breakfast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups mochiko flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine melted butter and granulated sugar, stirring until well mixed.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together mochiko flour and baking powder, then fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Slowly pour in the evaporated milk and coconut milk, mixing until smooth. Fold in shredded coconut if desired.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares or rectangles for serving.

Notes

For a firmer texture, let it rest overnight. Use unsalted butter for better control of sweetness, and ensure not to overmix the batter.
