Blueberry Mochi Cake again...

Aah, nice crisp edges...

and even one corner thrown in!

This blueberry mochi cake is my latest obession...


I've made it three times already. For the second time (seen below), I used Trader Joe's organic wild blueberries. They are smaller than the regular frozen kind I get from Fresh & Easy.

This time, instead of mixing the blueberries into the batter, I put them ON TOP of the batter. Then, with a butter knife, I pressed some blueberries down and made a few swirly passes to make a pretty pattern. I also used a pastry brush to butter the pan so it could be removed more easily once it was cooled down.

Instead of one hour, I cut the time in the oven down by 5 minutes. I remember the first time I made it, it looked a bit too browned at the top. The toothpick still came out clean after 55 minutes of baking.

The cake was shared with Cathy of Mmm-Yoso. My third batch made earlier tonight will be gifted to D, KD, and my hair stylist. I love love love this recipe! It smells so good when baking...

The slight chewiness of the mochi and the tiny sweet blueberries make for a delicious snack!
