Mochi Cake Mix: 9/10
I was very excited to try this mix since mochi is one of my favorite products and Trader Joe’s seem to do a great job with all their mochi variations. I really felt like I would either love this cake or really dislike it, and I’m so happy to report, it’s amazing and such a unique dessert! This mochi cake mix is a chewy (chewier than expected but really should have expected it since it is a mochi cake 😂), buttery treat that I thought was extremely delicious. It’s a nice amount of sweet, but not overly sweet. It tasted a little bit like pound cake and regular yellow cake but with an extremely chewy texture. I made this mix exactly like the box says to, but it would also be delicious with coconut milk subbed for the water or matcha mixed in. This mix would also be so delicious made into waffles, so I’ll have to pick up another box and try that out before it’s gone for the season! It’s $3.99 for this cake mix.
Have you tried this yet? What’s your favorite way to prepare this mix?
I substituted the cup of water for a cup of coconut milk. I also added 1 cup of strained crushed pineapple. It was delicious!
It’s aight, not so flavorful but good texture
Tried to pick this up today but my store ran out. But I got the blood orange cake 😍
I added the macadamia nut honey into my mix and added vanilla extract as well. Next time I want to include strawberries and whipped cream.
It’s out of season at my Trader Joe’s 😭
I like it. But it reminds me of unsweetened flan.

@kmbrlydp you think I can make this into a waffle LMAO
This was so yummy ! I posted on my page and everyone in Hawaii went crazy looking for it 😂
I made this last year and my kids did not like it. I ate it all by myself. Poor me 🤣
What would you suggest I do if I only have unsalted butter? Worth it to go out and get some? Use unsalted and add in some?
It’s sooo good. I have to run back and try to stock up
I used the light coconut milk from Trader Joe’s
Just bought this !
@kassh_in 🤔 wonder if Chy would like?
Think I should stick to butter or try the mochi mix with lard? 😮🤔
@cori1349
If you use little ramekins, you can make this in the air fryer and I suggest using milk instead of water
@samanthasetoyee this account is what i was recommending and this product is what i was talking about
Is this a seasonal item? I’ve been twice in the last 3 weeks and it’s been out of stock.
@traderjoesfoodreviews if you sub coconut milk for the water, should you still add the eggs?
@elainexrose
Was this item discontinued? I only got to try it once and loved it! Its been 2 years now since my local TJs carried this. Dunno what happened.
