Mochiko an "cake"

****Please Note: The texture of this confection is more like mochi and not very much like cake.**** Another recipe from a friend...this is really a different an and mochi combination. The an is mixed right into the mochiko and it makes for a really nice flavor. The texture is really gooey, just like mochi should be!
