matcha mochi

this was another matcha recipe i tried and it turned out pretty well. it was hard for me to tell when it was done because i used a slightly different pan than the instructions.  i did the toothpick trick and it seemed to come out ok.  i wouldve liked to add something else to the mochi, it seems a bit plain by itself.  ive had mochi cake where there were blueberries in it.

Ingredients

• 16 oz Mochiko rice flour (or can substitute for any brand of glutinous rice flour)
• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
• 4 eggs
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 tablespoons matcha green tea powder

Directions
1. Cream the butter with sugar. It helps to melt the butter a little first.
2. Mix in the evaporated milk to the butter/sugar mixture.
3. Mix eggs into the mixture.
4. Mix in the rice flour, baking powder and vanilla.
5. Mix in the matcha green tea powder.
6. Pour mixture into a 9 x 13 pan.
7. Bake for approximately 1 hour at 350 degrees.
8. Let cake completely cool, allowing the mochi to set, before cutting and serving
