Custard Mochi Cake 吉士糯米糕

A delicious custard cake with added glutinuos rice flour which gave the soft cake a little chewiness. Due to the compactness of the cake texture, the steam in the cake escaped through all the sides and almost pushed the baking cake out of the pan. Remember to place a baking tray under your cake pan to catch the dripping butter if you try to bake this cake :)
