Well, a gracious good day to you! You're looking good! What have you been up to...not sure I want to know. Pour some delightfully perky coffee into your mug and try a piece of our new Japanese water cake. Uh-huh...you heard me right.
It looks like a large drop of water, but it’s actually a
cake. This Japanese invention is as delicate as it looks and sounds, but
it needs to be consumed in only 30 minutes, after which it will simply
turn into a sweet puddle of water.
The water cake looks like a large bowl of jelly without the
color, but its makers insist that it’s cake. The strange dish is a
variation of the well-known Japanese rice-cake confection, shingen
mochi. Mochis are trademarked desserts, only created by the Kinseiken
Seika Company. A regular type of shingen mochi is made from a
particularly soft type of mochi rice cake, sprinkled with kinako soybean
powder and eaten with brown sugar syrup. Traditionally, it is yellow in
color, with a sticky and soft jelly-like consistency.
I must try to make this. Question is though...should I make it in the oven or in the bathtub?
See ya, eh!
