Dear Sweet,
It's been a long time between recipes here, but here is one I hope you will try: Butter Mochi Cake, from Hawaii. Whenever you read the words "from Hawaii" you are bound to bust out in sugary jingle song (if you had a television in the 1970's, anyway- and yes, I am aware of the destructive colonizing power of the sugar trade, but I am offering you this cake and this jingle with apologies for all of it). When you are done singing, watch this tour of a C & H sugar factory, and then get back to your baking, if you choose to. Or, watch another old ad for sugar, if you like.
