Buttery Red Bean Mochi Cake
Buttery Red Bean Mochi Cake bakes up with a custardy chew and a golden, tender edge.

Its mochi-like texture sets it apart from typical cakes, offering a satisfying, springy crumb.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch Bundt pan or a 9x13-inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and milk. Stir in the rice flour and baking powder. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Drop red bean paste by scant teaspoonfuls over the top of the cake. If the spoonfuls are too large, the filling will sink to the bottom.

Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched. If using a Bundt pan, invert the cake onto a serving plate. The cake must be completely cooled before unmolding from the Bundt pan, or it will be too soft to hold its shape. Serve small slices of this very rich cake at room temperature or slightly warmed.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
