Glutinous Rice Flour Cake

Description

This cake recipe is often taught to Japanese housewives who have just come to America by their veteran counterparts. The recipe probably differs depending on the region. Sweet red beans tend to sink through the batter while you're baking, so it's best to start baking with them floating on top. Looking at the colour, I think that black sesame seeds work best with this cake. For one 25.5 cm [10.0 in] (or 10 inch) cake

  • Mix in the vanilla essence, then the eggs, mochiko, baking powder and milk in that order.
  • Pour the mixture into a cake tin greased with butter (not listed in ingredients) and spoon the bean paste over the top. (The bean paste will naturally sink into the batter while baking.)
