ingredients
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup apple sauce
- 3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sweet rice flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8×6" pyrex dish and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, applesauce, coconut milk, and vanilla. Use a sieve to sift in the flour and baking powder, then mix until well combined.
Step 3
Your batter will likely have lumps of flour in it, so pour some batter in the sieve and use a spatula or spoon to press the batter down, smoothing out any clumps. Repeat with remaining batter.
Step 4
Tap the pan on the countertop a few times to release air bubbles from the batter. Bake in oven for 1 hour, then poke with a toothpick and if the toothpick comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, the cake is done. If it is still very sticky inside, continue to bake and check every 5 minutes. Make sure the edges don't burn.
Step 5
Let the mochi cake cool completely to room temperature before slicing. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
