EDIT: Now with image!

The mochi cake I used is from a mix (I like the one that Trader Joe's sells), but it you wanted to make your own I don't think it's too complicated. I like a thinner cake, so I usually only use half a box of the mix. Doing that also means it cooks very quickly!

What takes it to the next level, in my opinion, is to get some freeze-dried strawberries or other freeze-dried fruit (Trader Joe's also sells this, and freeze dried fruits of all kinds are common in most supermarkets, usually in a snack aisle), grind them up, and dust them over top like you would with powdered sugar, but in a thicker layer. I like to grind mine with a mortar and pestle, but a (blade-style) coffer grinder or anything like that works too.

It's honestly the simplest desert recipe I know, and one of my favorites!

You can try uploading it to another website like Imgur and then applying that link to your post. When I made a submission, it seemed to work perfectly.

I'm going to try blending the rice flour like you said and see if my food processor can handle it. Maybe by tomorrow, I'll be able to try out that recipe. Thanks!

I added an imgur link! It doesn't seem to show a preview in the community feed, but for now that's okay.

Mmm, that looks fantastic. The ground strawberries really pop.

To fix the preview, you could try changing the link to this instead?

🙏 Thank you! I couldn't figure out where to get a direct image link from the imgur page
