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.

      Breakfast ideas besides oatmeal as Avenin can be gluten?

      I read gluten-free oatmeal Avenin can cause gluten like symptoms. I read Bobs Redmill gluten-free creamy buckwheat cereal and Millet are good alternatives with ultra low heavy metals, mold but it seems it takes longer to prepare the minute oats. What have you changed your breakfast to.

      The Struggle Has Overtaken Me

      Ginger38, that sounds very difficult. Each dietary restriction makes it harder to figure out what to eat. Before my celiac diagnosis I already watched out for my cholesterol level and migraine triggers, but those are much easier than diabetes restrictions. One “bad” meal isn’t that much of a problem for cholesterol levels, and my migraines only happened if I ...

      Gluten challenge - Need some guidance

      Ginger38, that sounds very difficult.  Each dietary restriction makes it harder to figure out what to eat. Before my celiac diagnosis I already watched out for my cholesterol level and migraine triggers, but those are much easier than diabetes restrictions. One “bad” meal isn’t that much of a problem for cholesterol levels, and my migraines only happened if I consistently ate the triggers. After many years I’ve figured out how to bake gluten free but I think many recipes have more starch which wouldn’t work for diabetes. If you go with the elephant eating analogy, I think the first portion to work on would be the diabetes, since the immediate consequences of not being careful (passing out from low blood sugar, or diabetic coma from high blood sugar) are so severe. The next portion would be celiac. The serious consequences aren’t as immediate, but if you have celiac disease, I think of eating gluten like a booster shot - revving up the immune system, but to attack yourself leading to long term damage. It sounds like you are experiencing this damage now. I did a google search on “gluten free food for diabetics” and a number of sites with advice came up.  If your insurance will cover it and you can find one, a registered dietician who knows about both diabetes and celiac disease might help you figure out what to eat safely. Hopefully my post will both scare and encourage you, as requested, with a big dose of compassion because this sounds very difficult and you are clearly suffering.

      Reading the original post on this thread made me think of "How To Eat An Elephant". The key point is that a whole, big problem can seem insurmountable but if you break it into bite-sized pieces it is much easier to accomplish. Here is the google description. It's not bad: If you're facing a daunting goal, you can use these steps to "eat your elephant": Identify the Elephant: Clearly define the large project or goal that feels overwhelming. Break it Down: Divide the major task into smaller "bite-sized" pieces. If a piece still feels too big, break it down further. Prioritize: Decide which "bite" to take first based on necessity or impact. Focus on the Now: Instead of worrying about the whole animal, focus only on the single step you are taking right now. Maintain Consistency: Progress comes from taking the "next right step" every day until the task is complete. Celebrate Small Wins If I understood Ginger38's post correctly, you are facing the prospect of a gluten challenge, but you are already eating gluten on an intermittent basis. It also sounds like many of the symptoms you attribute to gluten consumption are in full expression. Step back and take a deep breath. Get a notebook and start a gluten-related diary. Don't try to make it perfect; just record what you can about food intake and what you experience as you go along. Talk to your Dr's office (nurse, Dr, whomever) about the challenge. The most rigorous challenge is for someone who has already gone truly gluten free but now needs a clear diagnosis. Someone who is already eating gluten should not need as much "challenge". Even at that, google describes an example challenge as 1-2 slice of bread or 1/2 cup of pasta a day. If that describes your existing diet you are already there. For the moment, try to focus on getting past the challenge and test. Once you have the results, start planning accordingly.

I am popping up to recommend that you keep a careful diary (in case you weren't already). Try to catalog what you are eating and experiencing. Bring a copy to your next visit (and if you have access to the Dr, also send a copy a couple days in advance). Don't assume that they will read it. They might, but they also might be under tremendous time pressure and not get to it. Two other suggestions: if your healthcare provider has a web portal, sign on and search for "gluten challenge". They may have a standard page and Dr assumed you would find it on your own. If that doesn't work, call the Dr's office and ask the office for their official advice. You probably wouldn't need to speak to the Dr directly. There should be some nurse or staff member who could answer that

      Gluten challenge - Need some guidance

      By Xravith · Posted

      After few months going gluten free, I decided to reintroduce gluten in my diet so I can do a proper diagnosis for Celiac disease. During the gluten free period I felt incredibly good. I stopped having hypoglycemia symptoms, I gained some muscle (Still, I am considerably underweight) and my anxiety totally disappeared. I felt totally like a new person. Now, I almost reached the second week of gluten challenge and all my symptoms are progressively coming back. The first days I was ok, just a bit of acid reflux I could control with medicines. However, after the first week I started to feel real stomach pain and tiredness, my face is growing acne and sometimes (specially when I walk) i feel painful migraines.  I am afraid If I am eating too much gluten or not enough, the "4 slices of bread" indication confuses me. I am actually eating 20 g of bread, 3 biscuits and 40 g of croissant each day. My doctor was not very specific when he gave me the medical order for the gluten challenge, so I invented my own daily gluten menu. Do you have any suggestions? 4 weeks will be enough to do the blood test with my current gluten intake?  Thank you
