MATCHA MOCHI CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush a 9x13 baking pan generously with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
• In a bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla, and milk.
• In another large bowl, whisk together sugar and matcha until completely mixed. Whisk in mochiko, baking powder, and kosher salt. Pour the egg and milk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until well combined.
• Add melted butter and coconut milk and mix fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and rap the pan on the counter a couple of times to release any air bubbles.
• Evenly sprinkle the shredded coconut on top and sprinkle with a few pinches of flaky salt.
• Being careful not to jiggle the pan too much so the coconut stays on top, transfer to the middle rack of the oven and bake until mochi is set and golden brown on top, about 1 hour. Set the pan to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into rectangles, about 1-2 hours. Cut into 20-24 squares using a plastic knife or oiled knife to minimize sticking. (4 columns by 5 or 6 rows works well!).
• Store up to 3 days in an airtight container at room temperature.

RASPBERRY-MOCHI BUTTER CAKE WITH MATCHA GLAZE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and grease the sides and bottom of the pan with butter.
• Prepare the cake: In a large bowl, whisk together the rice flour, granulated sugar and baking powder. In a medium bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup coconut milk with the evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla and the 1/4 cup melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk thoroughly until combined.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Add half the raspberries to the cake batter one raspberry at a time, 1 inch apart, pushing each berry into the batter to fully submerge.
• Bake the cake until it's fully golden brown on top, the center is firm and no longer jiggly, and a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack. After the cake has cooled slightly, about 10 minutes, run a knife around the inside edge of the pan. Continue to let cool in the pan.
• Prepare the matcha glaze: Add the confectioners' sugar, coconut milk and matcha powder to a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth; set aside.
• Once the cake has fully cooled, carefully invert it onto a cake platter or serving plate. Spoon the matcha glaze on top just until the top of the cake is coated. (You'll have some glaze leftover.) Using the back of the spoon and working in 1-inch increments, swipe the matcha glaze from the top of the cake gradually over the edge of the cake, so it drips decoratively down the sides. (You can add more glaze as needed, or serve any additional glaze with the cake.)
• Carefully place the remaining raspberries in a decorative pile in the center of the cake. Lightly dust raspberries with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately. Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
