Baked Chocolate Mochi

I got this recipe from somebody a loooooong time ago.  I think I made it only once before and I wondered if I still had the recipe. I did a happy dance when I found it deep in my recipe box. 



This is what my copy looks like . . . front and back views.  Looks like a hurriedly jotted down the recipe as someone recited it to me.


Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 block margarine over really low heat.   Cool.


Mix together 2 cups mochiko, 2 cups sugar and 1 tbs. baking soda.  Check out our "antique road show" strainer.  Neat yah!  I hope Wendell doesn't ever dump it.


In a separate bowl combine the chocolate/butter mixture, 2 cans of evaporated milk,  2 tsp. vanilla and


two beaten eggs.


Add dry ingredients.  I know . . . that picture came out so cool.  Hahahaha!!


Pour into 9 x 13 inch pan.  I usually line the pan with foil 'cause it makes it easier to clean up.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes.


I baked it for 55 minutes and it came out a little cakier than I had wanted.  50 minutes might be perfect in our oven.
