Vegan Lemon Blueberry Mochi Cake

I still have some of that coconut milk beverage so I thought I'd try again at another vegan mochi cake.

Stacey's Vegan Lemon Blueberry Mochi Cake Ingredients:
2 c brown rice flour
1/4 tsp salt
1.5 tsp baking powder
1 tbs carageenan, powdered
2/3 c agave nectar, organic
1/3 c canola oil, organic
1 c coconut milk beverage (original)
1/4 c lemon juice (from 2 medium sized lemons)
1 c frozen blueberries, organic

First I preheated the oven to 350F. Then, I stirred all the dry ingredients, and then added the wet ingredients, adding the blueberries last. Stirring the dry ingredients first is essential because carageenan tends to clump up when it gets wet, so it's best if it's distributed throughout the flour.

At this point, it was quite thick. I spread it into a glass pyrex baking dish (with a lid of course, so it would be easier for transport to work:
I baked it for about 35 minutes on the lower rack, but it probably should have been baked on the upper rack for a bit more time, I think because of the frozen blueberries.  It was still soft in the middle, but since it's vegan, there was really no food safety danger.
 The center actually tasted a bit like regular mochi, so I liked it, but it wasn't what I was going for.
However, I brought it into the office around 10a and it was gone by 11:30a, so I suppose everyone else didn't mind much either. :)

Solid Dark Chocolate Almond Hearts

Decided to do a few Valentine's Day orders this year.  I'll make a few more things to fill out my box assortments, but here's the first recipe. Stacey's Dark Chocolate Almond Hearts Ingredients : 24 oz Guittard 64% dark chocolate couverture 11 oz local farmers' market almonds, toasted and chopped Heart Molds I think this recipe has a few too many almonds - I'd probably scale it back to something like 8 oz for next time.  Usually I eyeball it, but I wanted weights for my blog.  I toasted the almonds first for 15 minutes at 350F since the almonds came straight out of the freezer.  Make sure your almonds are around 90F when you add them to your tempered chocolate. Tempering Chocolate (Seed Method) The counter tops were at 62F.  This is important.  If you are tempering chocolate, make sure that the ambient temperature (as well as working surfaces) are less than 70F.  Otherwise chocolate will not temper.  I learned this the hard way the first ...

White Turnip Cake (Law Bock Go)

Every Chinese New Year, my mom and I do some Chinese cooking together.  What a great opportunity for my new blog, I thought. :)  Most of my friends know that I'm just starting my foray into the savory and it's not second nature to me like baking has become (try to ignore my high-altitude and mis-cake chocolate cake posts for now). Usually my mom makes nine-layer pudding (gow chong go), New Year's muffins (fat tay), and New Year's pudding (neen go), and then we make Su Mai dumplings together.  This year my mom still made the nine-layer pudding and the New Year's pudding, but we didn't have time for the Su Mai or muffins.  We talked about how only she and I like eating the muffins so it would probably be a waste, but she said, "I really only want to make them to see if they burst." I thought that was cute.  Bursting fat tay is supposed to signal good luck for the New Year. My mom went to epicurious.com to find our turnip cake recipe. I found this...

Soften butter in the microwave. Beat sugar, egg, vanilla, and butter until fluffy.  Add dry ingredients and mix. Drop about 2 tbs of dough at a time on the cookie sheets,  about 2" apart (I used a 1 oz scooper). Bake for 10-12 min, rotating the pan once after 6 minutes until edges are starting to bro...
