Mochi Bundt Cake Homework
For the Kid’s homework he was asked to make his favorite recipe. Homework sure is more fun nowadays than when I was a kid. It turns out his favorite recipe is my Neapolitan Mochi Bundt Cake. Aw, the Kid loves to cook and like me, he loves mochi!
Mochiko is a sweet rice flour that’s very fine, almost dusty. You can find it in most asian markets or online. Mochiko gives a familiar ‘chew’ to baked goods, reminiscent of mochi itself.
The Kid followed the entire recipe himself (a little helping holding the bowl, etc) and in the end he got to eat his creation! Slicing into the unassuming cake and seeing all the pretty colors is what makes this cake so fun. Tastiest homework ever!
This looks so delicious! Not only do I love mochi – I absolutely love neapolitan cakes! ^^ Its so cute that he made it by himself with your recipe!
i just tried making this recipe, and was wondering where i went wrong. i (thought) followed the recipe exactly, but the batter was a lot runnier than your photos, more like regular cake batter. then at 45 minutes of baking, it was still totally raw in the center. you could see that just by looking at it. so i baked it for 15 more minutes. it looked better, but when i put the skewer in, it was still raw inside. so i cooked it another 15 minutes. so, after the extra 30 minutes of bake time, the skewer came out clean. now it’s cooling, and i’m here with my fingers crossed it came out ok! do you know why it was so runny and why it took so long to cook?
@Tiffany Hm, as long as you used Mochiko the batter should be thick.
<3 this! Made my first one a few days ago & my sister happened to come by with my 2 year old nephew, he loved it so much she went out & bought all the items to make another one for her house for me to make 🙂 Yikes! now my kids are requesting another one as well cake #3 in 1 week 🙂 Thank you Jenn we <2 your website! We are also waiting for our Star Wars cookie cutters to come in to try out all your recipes!!
I want to make this for a Christmas Eve party. What can I use to flavor the pink batter a strawberry flavor? Mahalo.
Can you bake this in a 9×13 pan instead of bundt cake pan? would bake time be 1 hour?
I saw you on YouTube with Alvin and Inga and had to try your recipe. I took Inga’s suggestion to try it with matcha and substituted the pink layer with matcha. It was delicious! I love mochi and this cake is my new favorite!
