How to Make Mochi Cake

  1. Preheat your electric oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups mochiko (sweet rice flour), 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Ensure all dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup whole milk, ½ cup vegetable oil, 4 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness around the 60-minute mark.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Dust with powdered sugar (optional) for extra sweetness.
