This Dairy-Free Mochi Cake is a delightful fusion of chewy mochi texture with a light, sweet cake flavor. Perfect for dessert or a snack, it's a unique treat that's both satisfying and comforting.

Ingredients

• Sweet rice flour (mochi flour) - 1 cup (150g)
• Coconut milk - 1/2 cup (120ml)
• Maple syrup - 1/4 cup (60ml)
• Brown sugar - 2 tablespoons (30g)
• Baking powder - 1 teaspoon (4g)
• Vanilla extract - 1 teaspoon (5ml)
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon (1.5g)
• Coconut oil (melted) - 2 tablespoons (30ml)
• Cornstarch (for dusting) - as needed

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a small baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches or 20x20 cm) with coconut oil.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet rice flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Allow the mochi cake to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Dust the top with cornstarch before slicing into squares and serving.
