What is your dream mochi cake? Comment below and let us know!
cheesey
My dream is to actually find mochi flour in my town!
@@lisakilmer2667 Amazon has Mochiko
@@kathrynkent954 Yes, they do, but then I have to wait! :( -- we have a new little tiny Asian market that I will check tomorrow!
@@jjsmith3302 That sounds super delicious!!
The first time I had mochi butter cake was when this guy I didn't know made it and brought it to a meeting in college. We're celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary this week. Mochi cake is the secret to a happy marriage.
isn't that the sweetest thing!🥺
Aaawwww! That's lovely!
I mean this from the bottom of my heart when I say that Sohla's knowledge and enthusiasm is a joy to behold. I love when she gets an idea for a riff and you see the cogs turning and her excitement growing, like she's gonna go off and do some experiments as soon as the cameras turn off. Sohla Unleashed is best Sohla! P.S. Thank u for the gluten free food ideas!
Sohla Unleashed- great title for her next series! You saw it here first folks.
You should see her on the history channel! th-cam.com/video/wPZxQ4WvgyI/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful put. Sohla is so intelligent!
The way I’m personally invested in Sohla’s success
Likewise. I'd actually been getting worried, it was so long since I saw a new video.
YES
Same.. I can't wait for her cookbook.
Same
100%
This mochi corn cake was INCREDIBLE. I made it into muffins (ideal) and brought it to friends and everyone was obsessed. I think baking in muffin tins is the best way to get the perfect ratio of crispy outer layer to soft inner layer. So so good
Watching Sohla blow her own mind with mochi corn dog/mozzarella stick… priceless!
Aloha! Thank you for giving a shout out to Hawaiian Butter Mochi … a childhood favourite!
Also, Koda Farms is the “only” mochi flour. It’s a staple in all Hawaiian cupboards and the packaging artwork never changes, so very retro and sentimental :)
Hey editors! Can we get more close-ups of the finished product? We can't taste it, so a close look at texture would really help us understand what is actually going on with the dish lol
Korean here - my sister always makes it w walnuts and red bean. so subtle and amazing. I will try the corn/cheese version and a fruit one!
There’s a Filipino version using Mochiko called bibinka. It’s delicious and similar to Hawaiian butter mochi cake.
Aaaaaahhh! Filipina here- yes! Bibingka
we have something similar in Malaysia and Singapore called bingka ubi too!
It's even better when there are slices of white cheese baked into the bibingka 🤤
Or a slice of salted egg! Yum.
I wanted to make this for my father-in-law who grew up in the Philippines during WW2. I couldn't find a good recipe.
Sohla would love the Korean corn dog shops that have been popping up in the US - mochi batter corndogs (and cheese sticks) with all kinds of toppings. I’d love to see her take a field trip to one and come home with ideas of her own!
Loving the new format of showing the recipes one after the other❤️
Yes. So much better than side by side.
I love how excited Sohla gets as she's coming up the more riffs as she's currently off-script.
i think matcha, honey and ginger would be phenomenal. and add kimchi to sohla's cornbread recipe. wonder if it'd be okay to freeze?
I’m so obsessed with the Sohla Baking Universe and I’m eternally grateful to the youtube algorithm for keeping me updated - I have become such a more confident cook based on Sohla’s advice and attitude towards cooking, I’m so grateful!!
Me too!! I'm always searching TH-cam for new Sohla recipes all the time. I especially love her Ancient Recipes series on the History Channel. Sohla definitely makes you feel like you can do anything in the kitchen. Her Edna Lewis Cheese Souffle is now permanently on our menu! Love Sohla!!
omg i always thought i was just messing up my mochi i had no idea it was a specific type of glutinous rice flour, sohla u r a godsend
Thank you for this amazing recipe! I was deep in a 6 month baked mochi abyss when my friend stumbled across this and linked me. You say it's the best thing you've ever made and I thought, "high praise, let's test it!" You did NOT exaggerate. The cheesy corn mochi is life changing. Thank you for the recipes and being dope!!
Love how excited Sohla was for this ep😆I’m thinking toasted coconut crusted mochi cake with fresh pineapple chunks and rum😌
My first thought on a personal spin on it was “purin” (Japanese-style pudding Thats a lot like flan with a caramel top), but then you used it for the peaches! My next thought was possibly a “sticky bun” style (with brown sugar and the bottom with a sweet sauce and toasted chopped pecans)
hey random person all these sound delicious thank you.
Pro tip: if you really don't want greasy hands, use the butter wrapper instead of the paper towel when buttering your pan. It's still a bit greasy tbh, but it's so much easier to clean your hands after.
And this is why I read the comments! Thanks for the tip!
I do that too! When you soften butter, there's often a lot that stays behind on the paper even if you scrape the paper. I actually stick all those butter papers back into the fridge and save them for buttering the pan. I'll usually use like 3 or 4 to butter a pan, but it's one last use before throwing them out!
also hot water melts the butter off your hands when you wash :)
@@ellenkuang8853 me too!! ☺
@@ellenkuang8853 that's exactly how my mom taught me!
Mochi has an amazing texture when frozen. It's a popular topping for shave ice or pinkberry 🍧
I think a black cocoa mochi ice cream sandwich (like a chewy Oreo cookie) would be fantastic. 👍
Actually, mochi is really terrible when frozen. Rice hardens when cold, so you will end up with a crumbly brick instead of sticky chewy mochi. Those mochi toppings or frozen mochi desserts are full of stabilizers and gums to keep it soft. It will not work with regular mochi.
@@lucheng1945 have you never had mochi wrapped icecream? they're absolutely delicious
My first idea was a gingerbread mochi cake!🤤🤤🤤 So many possibilities.
That sounds amazing!!
I love how excited Sohla gets about her recipes. It’s how I feel about food.
I'm really grateful for Sohla. Watching the videos gave me more confidence in the kitchen. If something doesn't work I smile and move on
Amazing ideas! I would either go the piñacolada route or get inspired by our traditional local flavors and make a variation with ground poppy seeds and dried plums.
Seeing sohla sooo excited about this means I absolutely have to try this. It looks so easy as well!
Sadly, I dont think we can get mochi flour in Costa Rica. I guess Ill pick up some next time I go to the US.
About corn bread, there is this sweet version we do here, there is a VERY traditional super easy recipe, please feel free to try it:
1 stick of butter (melted)
1 can of condensed milk
1 teasp of baking powder
1 small can of corn (I guess Sohla would use fresh)
1/3 rd of a cup of flour
salt and vanilla to taste
You just throw everything on the blender (I dont blend it much, I like the corn kernels), then throw in a greased square pan (I use pyrex) then 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Super easy, super delish. VERY moist.
Glutinous rice flour might work. Find at any Asian store. It has to be glutinous rice flour, not just any rice flour.
Gurrrllll you had me at the cheese part!!! I’m Filipino and we use cheese in our sweets (Ensymada, bibingka, Puto, etc). I appreciate this and can’t wait to try this recipe!
Wow. Wow wow wow. I've never even heard of this and now I'm RUNNING to Amazon to get some mochi flour. Sohla continues to be, unequivocally, the coolest person on earth.
We make these cakes in Malaysia, but they're made with tapioca flour. The most basic traditional ones are flavoured with pandan. There's also a pumpkin version that's quite popular. They're typically baked in pretty brass molds.
Listening to Sohla riff and get a little glimpse into how her amazing brain thinks about food is so inspiring!
Last year around Thanksgiving I came across a recipe for pumpkin mochi, and it was life-changing. It's like pumpkin pie in chewy cake/blondie form! I'd love to try turning more traditional desserts into mochi cake.
Omg! Must try!
Can you please share the pumpkin mochi recipe?
@@t.martin3179 @T. Martin Sure! I'm not sure if this channel allows links in the comments, but I got my recipe from a blog called Contemplating Sweets if you want to search it up. It uses pumpkin puree and sweetened condensed milk to contribute the liquid and sugar components, plus pumpkin pie spices!
@@xdarkeagle17x Thanks so much! Sounds delish 😋
If you search the Hawaiian electric company recipes for pumpkin mochi, there's a couple of great recipes. A ton of other mochi-related recipes too
That one dislike was from Adam Rapoport.
Since I became so in love with all of the flavors of the foods, of so many Asian cultures, I always keep at least 3 or 4 boxes of mochiko flour on hand....so much you can do with it - and so easily! ...even many of the "traditional" grocery stores in the US has it these days.🥰
Thanks for the awesome new ideas!
This made me smile so much! Love you Sohla!
So excited about this episode! I looove mochi and Sohla!
I like how Sohla always talks about how you can play around with a recipe and make it your own while making it. She walks you through what will happen if you get the ratios wrong, how to pull it back to the original recipe, and how to lean into the mistake to get a different and just as good result!
I finally got around to giving this a go and I riffed off the peach mochi cake recipe to make what I can only describe as an Asian remix of a Nanaimo bar? I did a base layer than consisted of black (and dutched) cocoa and black sesame, and then the top layer I did a matcha green tea flavoured layer! So I can 10000% attest to the riff-ability of the recipe. Hopefully it's a riff that Sohla would approve of tooooo! *fingers crossed*
I absolutely love how excited & passionate Sohla is. There’s no doubt she loves her job 🥰
Peanut butter blondie mochi could be the go... I first had little cheese mochi puffs from a Tokyo convenience store and ate the whole bag in one go. That cheesy corny mochi looks super woofingly good.
I love how Sohla is literally dropping gems throughtout the whole vid!!
I absolutely love Sohla. So entertaining.
I love these recipes you can riff love it 🥰
I love seeing sohla so excited about food. I get this excited about food
This looks so good!!!
Sohla I love your enthusiasm and love for this creation!!! I am definitely going to make this and play around with it
I have a friend who is gluten free who just did something really nice for me so I’m excited to have an excuse to make this to thank her! Right now I’m thinking of doing a black cocoa riff possibly with strawberries
Your excitement makes this video incredibly engaging! And all of your tips sprinkled in make the recipe seem so accessible!
The Mochi corn cake was truly the cake of my dreams. Chewy, crispy, cheesie, spicy, and sweet. Could not have been better!
Mind blown! Cutting corn from the cob, and savory mochi cake. Yum.
i just made a mochi-butter pineapple upside down cake in a cast iron pan...it was amazing and the whole house smelled delicious while it was bakng
Ahhhh I love Mochi cake! Sohla is an angel
Really like the music in this video! Suits Sohla's style, funky, hip, fun, playful.
I am definitely going to try this! thanks Sohla!
Sohla's giggle and accompanying smile are adorable and can brighten up any bad day.
Just gorgeous!
I love Sohla. I love mochi. There's no better combination. Thanks Sohla!
This might genuinely be one of the best Sohla videos ever.
Hmm, for something savory, maybe... Pizza? Flavor with oregano and crushed red peppers. Top with sun-dried tomatoes and lots of mozzarella.
On the sweet side... Pineapple Upside Down Mochi Cake, because it's already an upside down cake! Crushed pineapple and some maraschino cherries. Maybe bit of rum or bourbon for a bit of kick.
If i weren't allergic to pineapples, I'd try the shit outta that.
@@ellenkuang8853 try it with mango!
off script with sohla is THE perfect show!
I had sweet coconut butter mochi recently, and it was sooo good and nothing like I expected. It was my first mochi experience. People, try this!! It is something new and amazing. Delightful! Delicious! Nothing have I had with this texture.
I love your videos so much because I can almost always go make the thing without going to the store. Changed the peach cake into a pineapple coconut cake and added cardamon to the caramel. Delicious!
My sister and I just tried the corn mochi recipe. So good. I'm excited to riff off of it now that we understand the basics. Also, it totally works just by putting it all into a powerful blender. We've made mochi before and that hack saves an hour of mixing.
Thank you for introducing me to this cake! I’ve made the cornbread version so many times with chili and it’s always a hit and now I make a gingerbread version on a regular basis and it’s so yummy
Omg! Sohla I've got to try this!!
For anyone interested, they actually do have mochi-dogs in japan, not super common but relevant enough to pop up in search results
I want to make a tahchin version of this topped with sweet and sour barberries
OMG, yes! Do it!
OMG! Sohla, you can bet that I am trying this!
Made the mochi corn cake, mind blown. It was astoundingly delicious.
i just made the caramel peach cake and it turned out fantastic, definitely making the corn cake at some point too
I love that with these Food52 videos Sohla is getting the space a brilliant mind and cook like her deserves. I always liked her in the Bon Appetit videos, but this here is so much more adequate!
You seem to have the most fun making the prettiest food ever!
looove having pumpkin spice butter mochi for thanksgiving
Alright. I’ve officially put my cake in the oven. I pretty much made the peach version, but riffed it by using a locally made lavender syrup instead of caramel. Fingers crossed it comes out nice. I’ll edit this tonight with an update on the taste.
how was it?
@@oliversmithlawrence I completely forgot to update this. It was okay. The flavors were amazing but I think I messed up somewhere along the way because I was kind of winging some of it and the texture was a little more dense than I would have liked. I think it’s worthwhile for me to try again, though.
this came at the perfect time !! i was just looking for recipes using rice flour :)
I love Sohla's videos. She's so energetic and fun. Her food expertise is amazing and she makes me want to cook while watching her cooking videos! Please Food52 keep this series with Sohla going!
Oh my! I need that caramel peach mochi cake. I need it!
I love you Sohla 🥺♥️
I just made a ginger blueberry honey caramel mochi cake by substituting blueberries for the peaches and ginger marmalade and honey for the sugar. It's amazing!!
There’s a Malaysian version of this called kuih bingka usually made with tapioca, cassava or sweet potatoes and very often the liquid used is to hydrate the flour is sweetened santan/ coconut milk. but I’ve had pumpkin versions which are just as great.
Sohla! Really love everything you do and how you recommended different things for the recipe! Also, would love Ham’s tasting opinions at the end!!
More recipes like this please! I am gluten and refined sugar free...this is a breath of fresh air hearing how flexible this recipe is.
I love how much you love mochi cakes 😂 i’m totally trying the corn one!
Sohla had an extra espresso this morning! I love it. I don't fully know the ramifications of this, but would it make sense for you to have an Amazon store? I'm sure many of us threw some mochi in our cart to try experimenting.
Made the peach mochi cake last night, and immediately went for seconds. That's how you know it's great! I'll have to try a caramel apple version some time.
Flax "egg" is the perfect sub...seriously...my cornbread is FIRE!!! and vegan! Thank you Sohla for this recipe...can't wait to make a vegan version!
EXACTLY
The corn and the cheese additions remind me of Filipino maja blanca.
Thanks, Sohla. Looks tasty
every idea that came out of sohla's mouth, please do it, I want to see
Sohla is so great :')
Needed this! Thank you
I'm definitely going to experiment with flavors based off tangyuan... ginger, rock sugar, and sesame 🤤
Butter mochi is a staple in our house (and all pot lucks) but I've never tried making it with different flavors because I usually just want the classic custardy treat. But now I wanna try these.
I’ll try this with chia eggs. It has a lot of hold and it works to hold together waffles. I’m going to put this recipe to the test.
I LOVE how Sohla says 'woah' when it's too much, or it s great idea! haha it's quirky, u can tell she is cooking with passion!
Sohla has convinced me I have to make this.
You might be able to whip a non salted aquafaba from a can of chickpeas to stiff peaks and fold it in as a vegan egg replacement
Thought the same! Or maybe some flaxseed
DROOLS. man I love baked mochi, looking forward to trying a savory take on my favorite snack! :)
Hmmm…I might try that peach one for a friend’s birthday cake. Thanks!
Sohlas happiness is the best energy… she’s probably the best friend to have
