– 1/2 cup water
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 1/2 cup sweetened red bean paste (anko) – optional, for filling

Instructions:

5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

6. Optional: If using sweetened red bean paste, gently spread it over the batter in the pan, leaving a small border around the edges.

7. Pour the remaining batter over the red bean paste, covering it completely.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Remove the matcha mochi cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

10. Carefully lift the cake out of the pan using the parchment paper and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
