Introduction
At Keola’s Mochi & Eats, we’re obsessed with texture and balance. Our matcha butter mochi cake has a soft, springy chew and a lightly crisp top, carrying matcha’s earthy depth without overwhelming sweetness. It’s a modern dessert with classic roots—perfect for gifting, sharing, or savoring with your afternoon tea.
What is Matcha Butter Mochi?
Butter mochi is a beloved Hawaiian dessert made with mochiko (sweet rice flour), coconut milk, and butter. The result is a chewy, custard-like cake with a golden top. When we add high-quality matcha, the cake turns a vibrant green and picks up a smooth, earthy flavor that pairs beautifully with the mochi’s natural creaminess.
In short: it’s the comfort of butter mochi plus the character of matcha—simple ingredients, big flavor.
Why Matcha Works in Butter Mochi Cake
- Flavor harmony: matcha’s grassy-sweet profile rounds out the mochi’s buttery richness.
- Eye-catching color: the natural green hue looks stunning on dessert tables and in gift boxes.
- Balanced sweetness: less sugary than cupcakes; easy to enjoy a second slice.
- Great with tea or coffee: a perfect afternoon or after-dinner pairing.
We also love matcha with fruit—try our seasonal matcha strawberry chi chi dango for a bright, jammy contrast.
