Ingredients

  • 2 eggs lightly whisked
  • 1 cup milk room temperature
  • 180 ml coconut milk room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ube extract
  • 225 grams (7.94 ounces) mochiko flour (glutinous rice flour)
  • 60 grams (2.12 ounces) butter melted
  • 1 cup (195 grams, 6.88 ounces) granulated sugar
  • ½ tablespoon baking powder levelled
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F) and grease and line a baking tin sized 23.5 cm (9.25 inches) x 17 cm (6.69 inches) with parchment paper.
  2. Combine eggs, milk, coconut milk, vanilla extract, ube extract, and melted butter in a medium mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate larger mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients from step 2 to the dry ingredients from step 3. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined and there are no lumps.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tin and gently tap the pan on your workspace to release any air bubbles.
  6. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until the top is golden brown in color. (see note 1). If you find your mochi is not cooked but the top is becoming too brown, loosely cover it with a sheet of alfoil.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the tin. Then slice into pieces. To make 12 pieces, cut your butter mochi into pieces sized 8cm (3.15 inches) x 5cm (1.97 inches).

Notes

  • If you poke a fork or skewer in the middle of the mochi, it should come out clean.
  • This ube butter mochi is best served warm or at room temperature.
  • When adding the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, it is useful to make a well (hole) in the centre of the dry ingredients before adding the wet ingredients.
  • When baking, this butter mochi will double in size, so make sure your baking tin is deep enough.
