BUTTER MOCHI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Melt the butter and chocolate. Beat the eggs and vanilla (do not over beat). Sift and fold in the flour, mochi flour, baking powder, and salt to the butter mixture followed by the sugar. Fold in the egg mixture until incorporated. Then fold in coconut flakes. Pour into an oven proof dish or pan and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.

BUTTER MOCHI

Steps:

• Make the mochi: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch cake pan, then line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
• Whisk the mochiko, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Prepare the batter in a stand mixer or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or whisk: Whisk the eggs and sugar until pale yellow and thick. Continue whisking while pouring in the coconut milk, then the butter and vanilla. Continue whisking while gradually adding the mochiko mixture. Whisk until the batter is completely smooth. Pour into the prepared pan, then tap it against the counter to get rid of any air bubbles.
• Bake until golden brown and crackly, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. When you press the center, it should bounce back but not indent at all. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Use the parchment paper to slide the cooled mochi out of the pan.
• The mochi is delicious plain, but you can add a glaze if you'd like: Mix the confectioners' sugar with 2 tablespoons passion fruit pulp until smooth. It should be thick but drippy. If needed, add another 1 to 2 tablespoons pulp. If you'd like to create an ombré or sunset effect, scrape some into another bowl or multiple bowls and tint with food coloring. Spread the glaze evenly over the mochi, in stripes if you'd like, and let stand until set.
• Cut the mochi into squares or bars. Serve immediately, or keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

BUTTER MOCHI

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment.
• Whisk together the mochiko, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
• Whisk together the milk, vanilla, eggs and coconut milk until smooth in a separate large bowl. (If you have trouble incorporating the coconut milk solids, you can use an electric mixer on medium speed for this step, and the following ones, if you like.) Whisk the milk mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined. Whisk in the melted butter until the batter is smooth.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and tap the pan on the counter a few times to get rid of any air bubbles. Bake until the butter mochi is set and the top is golden brown, 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
• Carefully lift the parchment paper out of the pan from both short ends and set the butter mochi on a cutting board. Cut into about twenty 2-by-3-inch rectangles and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

BUTTER MOCHI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with butter or oil.
• In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, and milk. In another larger bowl, whisk together the mochiko, sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and, with a wooden spoon stir until well combined. Add the melted butter and coconut milk and mix until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and rap the pan on the counter a couple of times to bring any air bubbles up to the surface. Evenly sprinkle the shredded coconut on top of the mixture, a handful at a time, being careful not to jiggle the pan too much, as you want the coconut to stay on the top. Then sprinkle on a few pinches of flaky salt, if desired.Bake until the mochi is set and golden brown on top, about 1 hour. Set the pan on a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing into rectangles using a plastic knife to minimize sticking; I cut four columns and five rows to make twenty 2 1⁄4 by 2 1⁄2-inchpieces. If the knife seems to be sticking, rub it with a little unsalted butter or neutral oil. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
