Strawberry Mochi Cake

With all the fresh strawberries available, I keep buying more strawberries than I can eat before the strawberries get too ripe.  So I’ve been looking thinking of creative uses for my leftover strawberries.  Strawberry mochi cake is an easy, tasty recipe.  The appearance is that of a cake, and the texture is in between a mochi and a cake (hence the name).  It’s like a very chewy cake.

I’ve had various incarnations of this recipe.  My first encounter with this recipe was in the form of a pumpkin mochi cake, which a friend brought to a Thanksgiving potluck.  I got the recipe from her, which she had created by modifying another mochi cake recipe she found in a Hawaiian recipe book.  Since then, I have also tried blueberry and cherry versions of mochi cake.  I’ve never had strawberry until now.  I was slightly worried that the softer texture of fresh strawberries might affect the batter, but it worked out beautifully.

The mochi cake is not very sweet, and is full of little bits of strawberries. Enjoy!
