One of my favorite and easiest dump cake recipes is this one, a coconut mochi cake recipe. But it is a bit heavy, with two cans of coconut milk and a stick of butter. This recipe is far lighter, but just as addicting for the mochi-lovers in our family. At room temperature, the cake takes on its characteristic chewiness. When it’s warm, it’s softer and slightly gooey. While it will keep a few days, it is best eaten within a couple of days as the mochi will become harder. To reheat, simply toast in the oven for a few minutes.
Note: We happened to have some red bean paste in the fridge (also long overdue), but I’m beginning to wonder if a similar-textured substitute could be used. Peanut butter anyone?
