Butter Coconut Mochi

Hi All:

I gave away my old bread machine (I will NEVER get the wheat and rye flour out of that thing) and I bought a Zojirushi home bakery supreme which I am truly loving.

This machine will only ever be used for gluten free baked goods.

One of the recipes on the Zoji website was a thing called Butter Mochi.

Mochiko is sweet rice flour and it's apparently used in Japanese and Hawai'ian cooking.

The butter mochi is apparently specifically a Japanese new years cake.

It's **VERY** sweet!!

But it's very tasty and obviously gluten free.

However, if you have problems with dairy and eggs, this cake is not for you.

This recipe is specific for a 2 lb loaf. It's the second time I made it and I like it a lot.

I am bringing the second batch into work tomorrow.

So, if I may share, here you are:

Add to the bread machine tray (in this order):

3 eggs

1 1/2 cups milk

4 tbs butter, melted

1 1/4 cup sugar (too sweet for me, so I added about 3/4 cups only)

1 1/2 cup sweet rice flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 cup coconut flakes, divided

Select cake cycle and press start.

The machine will kneed

When the add cycle comes on, add the first 1/2 cup coconut

Close the lid and resume baking

During the last hour of baking add the rest of the coconut

When the baking completes, remove the pan from the machine and let FULLY cool.

The first time I made it, I took it out of the pan before it was fully cool and it flopped about.

This is not a cake in the truest sense of the word but more like a thick gelatinous custard ... it sounds odd but I think it's tasty.

I also suggest not just dumping it out onto a surface but using something to stop it falling out of the pan and then placing it onto a plate or something else you are going to put it in.

I also recommend refrigerating it so it solidifies a little easier.

Please understand I am a really good cook but I have never been a baker, which is why I have a bread machine.

Those of you skilled at baking will be able to adapt the recipe for an oven.

I am eager to try out more recipes using mochiko, if anyone here has any to share.

If any of you try this recipe please let me know how you like it.

Best regards,

~Allison

This sounds like what my Japanese friends call mochiko cake, which they bake in the oven. They've been bringing it to gatherings alot lately and kiddo liked it and it's easy so we plan to give making it a try. Here's one link to a recipe that I found. Open Original Shared Link

My friends usually add canned adzuki beans to their cakes but I thought the blueberry version looked good!

Ye gods, what a beautiful little cake!

I will have to try and make that.

The red bean bundt cake mochi also looks good.

I love red bean paste,

It is very easy to do and I really like the texture.

The mochiko butter coconut cake is the fridge now at work and I will take it out at about 10:00 am for coffee/tea time. I have my doubts whether people will like it because of the texture, but I have my hopes.

If they are not keen on it, then I bring it home and it's more for me :)

Thank you for that site, Missy's mom!

Mochi is something I want to explore further, there seem to be a few cook books on Amazon but they are for Hawai'ian mochi recipes. Do you know if there is a Japanese cook book for mochiko flour concoctions? I will try to add the adzuki beans to something mochi like too.

I love Asian markets (Indian, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese markets) and often find some great things in them like sweet potato starch noodles and beautiful tamarind paste with the seeds already strained out. But if I have any questions about the ingredients I always ask. The people behind the counter are always happy to help.

Thanks for the site link. I will have to try that one!!

There are so many fun looking things one could try! I have a million links in my favorites but it takes me a while to get around to trying them out and kiddo is the only one in our home who eats sweets. Something that is yummy using mochiko is called ichigo daifuku in Japanese. Ichigo means strawberry. It is a ball of the sticky mochi inside of which is a whole fresh strawberry and a bit of red bean paste. Open Original Shared Link Looks beautiful and tastes great! DS likes dorayaki whick is like 2 sweeter, denser pancakes that sandwich red bean paste. Doesn't use mochiko. I have several recipes saved but would need to try it swapping out gluten-free flours(I think a sorghum blend would be good).

The ichigo daifuku sounds beautiful.

I really need to get some red bean paste, don't I? :)

And that Hawai'ian recipe book too.

The mochi pancakes sandwiching the red bean paste sound great too. Sounds like you could make a cake like that and cut it up into small squares, too. If you can embed the red bean paste between two layers of batter, why not be able to do that in cake form, no?

Thank you for the tips and the links.

They sound wonderful.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By Kris2093u4 · Posted

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
