This bright and fruity dessert is made with coconut milk, matcha powder, and sweet rice flour, which gives the cake its deliciously chewy texture! It’s topped with a 3-ingredient strawberry glaze for a tart and glossy finish.

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking dish with butter.
2
Make the mochi cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweet rice flour, sugar, matcha, baking powder, and salt.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla. Pour in the melted butter and whisk until incorporated.
4
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until the batter is silky and smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
5
Bake the cake until the edges begin to pull from the sides of the pan, 50–60 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
6
Make the strawberry icing: Add the freeze-dried strawberries to a food processor and pulse into a fine powder.
7
Transfer the strawberry powder to a medium bowl. Add the powdered sugar and milk and whisk until smooth.
8
Pour the glaze over the cake and spread to cover evenly.
9
Cut the cake into 8 pieces and serve.
