Matcha White Chocolate Mochi Cake

Mochi cake is chewy rather than light, thanks to the cornflour and coconut milk in the batter. The matcha gives it a grassy, slightly bitter note that plays well against the white chocolate. Cut it into small squares, since a little goes a long way.

  • 6 eggs
  • 201g Caster sugar
