Not sure if you could see from this photo, but this cupcake was indeed very mochi alike. It was both moist (cake like) and chewy (mochi like) at the same time! Me likes! :D


Well, if you're a mochi fan, like me, you definitely won't want to give this recipe a miss! For sure, I'll be baking this again! *insert greedy face emoij*

    1. Hi! :) It's a thick, sweetened milk that has had some of the liquid removed by evaporation.
