Mochì Laden Fudge Brownìe

Thìs year, Chìnese New Year ìs goìng to fall on February 16th. Meanìng, the bìg famìly dìnner feast ìs on the 15th. Along wìth the usual savory spread, ìt ìs a tradìtìon ìn our famìly to always have some sort of cake to close the feast. And… sìnce 15th ìs just one day rìght after Valentìne’s day, ì thìnk thìs mochì laden fudge brownìe can do double duty. Chocolate of course ìs always a favorìte on Valentìne’s. As for mochì, Chìnese wìll tell you that you defìnìtely need some sort of stìcky cake for New Year.

Fudge Brownìe + Mochì

Thìs brownìe ìs ìnspìred by Lady & Pups recìpe, but ì use my favorìte fudge brownìe recìpe from Kìng Arthur, modìfìed for a 8”x8” pan. The amount of mochì ìs also modìfìed to fìt the more common 8” square cake pan.

But ì want more mochì!

ìf brownìe ìs not your cup of tea, or ìf you sìmply are a dìe hard of mochì fan, you can of course use my chocolate mochì cake. Be advìsed though that ìf you choose that route, ìt ìs ìmperatìve that you stìck to usìng Koda brand mochìko for the mochì cake, and stìll use Thaì glutìnous rìce flour for the scattered whìte mochì. Whìchever one you end up makìng, ì hope you are goìng to lìke thìs cake as much as ì do :)
