I used a ready made Hokkaido sweet azuki bean filling for this Matcha Mochi – the bean paste is nicely textured and not too sweet which pairs beautifully with the slightly bitter matcha. It takes just 4 simple ingredients to make the dough and it comes together in a couple of minutes in the microwave. Tradition aside, the delectable soft chewy mochi, typically served with green tea, makes a delicious snack and is enjoyed on many other occasions beyond the New Year celebrations. In Japan, mochi is considered an auspicious snack and typically eaten during the Japanese New Year where the long stretchy rice cake mochi is said to symbolize long life and prosperity. It is made from sweet rice or glutinous rice, shaped into balls and stuffed with filling, most commonly a sweet bean paste. Mochi is a rice cake confection with oriental roots but probably most popularized in Japan. Simple homemade goodness and a lil’ delicious delight.

The mochiko flour, which if you’ve never used before, is rice flour. What makes these mochi cakes stand out is it’s soft and chewiness. It’s so delicious and perfect for sharing.Ī batch of these mochi cakes go a long way. These buttery mochi cakes have a hint of matcha green tea and coconut in every bite. So this time, I upgraded the butter mochi cake with matcha powder.

Have you ever had butter mochi cakes before? They’re sooo good. What are your favorite things to bake on a cold almost end of winter day? I will bake everything from loaves of quick bread, a dozen muffins, fruity pies to baked pastas. I love hanging out in the kitchen basking in the warmth radiating from the oven and the aroma of the baked goods. On a cold rainy day, I love having the oven on in the kitchen. It’s another rainy weekend for us in the Bay Area, which means it’s the perfect time for any baking projects. I hope you’re enjoying your weekend so far. This matcha butter mochi cake is delicious and perfect for sharing. Buttery mochi cake with a hint of matcha green tea and coconut in every bite.
