Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Brush the bottom and sides of an 8”x8” square baking pan with melted butter, line the pan with a long strip of parchment paper and let the excess hang over the side. Brush the parchment paper with butter as well and add another long strip of parchment paper crosswise. Brush with melted butter again and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, add mochiko, baking powder, cocoa powder, sugar and salt and stir with a whisk until evenly distributed. Set aside.

Step 4

Melt butter in a small bowl in the microwave for 40-45 seconds. Add chocolate chip to the hot butter and stir to melt the chocolate completely.

Step 5

In a large mixing bow, add vanilla, eggs, coconut milk and beat with a whisk until smooth. Add the melted butter and chocolate mixture and beat until combined.

Step 6

Stir in the dry ingredients and mix until completely smooth.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean with just a few crumbs attached.

Step 8

Allow to cool completely before cutting and serving.
