Ingredients
- 64 grams unsalted butter melted
- 400 grams Mochiko (glutinous rice flour)
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 354 ml evaporated milk
- 398 ml coconut milk full fat
- 2 eggs large
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pint fresh raspberries use more if desired
Matcha White Chocolate Glaze
- 130 grams white chocolate melting chips
- 2.5 tsp matcha powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F with the fan (convection). Using a pastry brush or paper tower, grease your pan with the melted butter. Don't go more than 3/4s the way up. Make sure to get all the little grooves! Depending on the size of your pan, you may be able to make a few single serving sized mini cakes as well.
- In a large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk to combine.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, most of the butter (leave a little to grease your pan), evaporated milk, coconut milk, and vanilla extract.
- Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until combined and smooth.
- Pour the batter into the cake pan and carefully tap the bottom of the pan on the table a few times to remove any air bubbles.
- Add half your raspberries to the batter. Position them evenly and press them into the batter until full submerged.
- Bake the cake until the top is nice and golden brown and the centre of the cake is set (not jiggly). A toothpick inserted into the centre should come out clean. About 55 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool for about 15 minutes before carefully separating the edges of the cake from the pan with a knife.
- Melt the white chocolate chips until you have the right runny consistency and add your Matcha powder. Mix until smooth, glossy, and beautiful!
- Flip your cake out onto your serving plate. Decorate the cake by pouring your glaze over the top of the cake and piling the raspberries on-top. You may want to use a spoon for the glaze to make sure that you get nice drips down the sides.
- Enjoy!
