Blueberry Mochi Cake

Can you believe it's 2013 already!

With a bit of sweet rice flour on hand, I thought I'd made a dessert to bring to my parents for the family get together...

Last year I made Chocolate Mochi squares since I had leftover sweet rice flour. I remember a recipe from Kirbie's blog that used blueberries so that's what I decided on, Blueberry Mochi Cake. Here are the majority of the ingredients:

minus the 4 eggs and the sugar. I hate photographing white ingredients. Plus I forgot. I also handwrote the recipe because I was too lazy to print it and go back upstairs.

It would have been nice to use fresh blueberries but frozen was what I had on hand...

The blueberries turn the batter a lovely bluish color. I just realized this batter uses a shit-ton of butter and sugar!

My cake smelled so good coming out of the oven. It seemed a bit too "brown" on the top though compared to the other bloggers' versions. If I do this recipe again, I will strategically place more blueberries on the top to make it prettier.

Another thing I should have done was butter or spray the pan with non-stick spray. That would have made it easier for Bert to remove the cake.

The top had a nice crackle to it, but kind of flaked off when separated into squares.

Can't wait to eat this later today!
