Here are four expert tips that will elevate your mochi cake - making game:

  1. At The Plant Based Workshop, we like using a high fat coconut milk! It gives it a beautiful nutty flavour and adds a nice amount of fat content to the dense cake.
  2. Using a electric mixer after combining the dry mix and liquids, makes the batter smooth and easier!
  3. Don't forget to grease your muffin tins! It's just so easy to pop the cakes out when the baking pan is greased.
  4. When the mochi cakes come out of the oven, they will be crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. Let it cool and enjoy the stretchy chew of mochi!
  5. Try customizing! Make pancakes, waffles with the same mix. Add coconut flakes before baking or sprinkle with dried fruit or nuts to add some different flavours and textures. Share your creations with us @plantbasedworkshop
