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.

      Testing

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Once you have removed the inflammatories, it is time to focus on the deficiencies.  A lot of them not specific to Celiac, but deficiency in them elicits symptoms associated with Celiac. According to research, celiac disease tends to be more prevalent in urban areas compared to rural areas.  Same is true with airborne viruses.  Because urban residents get less sunlight.  To top it off we use lotion and gear to block the little light there is.  This compremises the vitamin D blood level.  A virus attack further lowers vitamin D and the immune system loses control over the Celiac genes and they go into acute symptoms. 40% to 75% depending depending on country are vitamin D deficient. 50% do not eat the Adequit Intake for potassium (4700 mg a day) 90% do n ot eat the Adequit Intake for Choline. Iodine intake since 1970 had dropped 50%.  The western diet is typically excessive in omega 6 fatty acid compared to omega 3.  Above 14:1 by some estimates.  So they sell us expensive, processed oils to compensate.  Anyway after 10 years gluten free myself,  here is what has helped me in just the past few years; once I realized I was at a healing plateau and just GFD would not cut it, and reallized my deficiencies.  Most recently, I started a statin which I only took for two weeks before it started to cripple me.   Got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid to 2000 and am more flexible now Plus HDL went 29 to 44, eGFR from 55 to 79. I also learned if the pharmacist gets a prescription for Niacin that it is dealer's choice whether you get Nicotinic Acid or Niacinimide.  And it comes out of a regular vitamin manufacturer.   "likely deficiencies and what I take to boost my intake (I get anorexic at the drop of a hat so I take them to keep me stable):  the ones that helped me the most noticibly Was increasing vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml and Iodine to 500 mcg once or twice a day, Thiamine, Choline, and Iodine. 10,000 IU vitamin D 500 mg Thiamine or more Choline Iodine – 600 to 1200 mcg of Liquid Iodine Vitamin B2 helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body's energy supply.  500 mg Nicotinic Acid - increase capillary blood flow, lower cholesterol. I recently started 2000 mg a day instead of a statin which I cannot tolerate. I the first month my HDL went from 29 to 44. eGFR (kidney function) jumped from 55 ti 75. It also has make my whole body less stiff. The ichy, flushing with the first few doses goes away. The non flush forms of vitamin B3 do not work. It is the relaxing of the capillaries and tendons. 500 mg Pantothenic Acid vitamin B5 Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Vegetables  Eating more of the vegetables low in omega six and high omega 3 can reduce inflammation Whole Milk Vanilla yogurt to which I add 100 grams of raspberrys, black berries and blueberries has lots of probiotics and makes my tummy and body happy. Red Bull has sugar (not high fructose corn syrup) and the vitamins (B2,3,5,6 need to metabolize to ATP energy and Taurine as an antioxident). It is a good source of energy for me because my genetic hyperlipidemia does not process complex carbs well.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      I’m so confused…

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!
