Ingredients

3 cups Mochiko* (sweet rice flour; 1 lb)
2 tsp Baking powder
1 1/4 cups Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Salt
2 (14-oz) cans Unsweetened coconut milk (not low-fat)
5 Large eggs
1/4 cup Butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla

Preparation

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.

Whisk together mochiko, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together coconut milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla in another bowl. Add coconut mixture to flour mixture, whisking until batter is combined.

Pour batter into an ungreased 13- by 9-inch baking pan, smoothing top, and bake until top is golden and cake begins to pull away from sides of pan, about 1 1/2 hours. Cool cake completely in pan on a rack, about 2 hours. Cut mochi into 24 squares before serving.

Cook's Notes

Can use 1 1/4 tsp cream of tartar and 1/2 tsp baking soda instead of 2 tsp baking powder. Mochi keeps, covered and chilled, 3 days.
