Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Crepe Batter
  • 1 cup high-quality matcha powder Opt for culinary grade for smoother blends.
  • 1 cup cake flour Ensures a light, airy texture.
  • 3 large eggs Fresh eggs add richness.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar Balances the matcha’s earthy notes.
  • 1 cup milk Use whole milk for creaminess.
Whipped Cream Layer
  • 1 cup heavy cream Whips up beautifully for layering.

Method
 

Make the Batter
  1. In a bowl, combine the cake flour, high-quality matcha powder, and sugar.
  2. Whisk in the eggs and milk until the mixture is just smooth, allowing tiny bubbles to form. Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes.
Cook the Crepes
  1. Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and lightly grease it.
  2. Pour just enough batter to cover the bottom, swirling gently. Cook each crepe until lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes, then let cool.
Layer the Cake
  1. Spread a layer of whipped heavy cream over the first crepe and continue layering with crepes and cream.
  2. Ensure layers align nicely for presentation.
Chill and Decorate
  1. Chill the assembled cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  2. Dust the top with matcha powder and garnish before serving.
Cutting the Cake
  1. Use a warmed knife for clean cuts when serving.

Notes

Make crepe batter the night before for enhanced flavors. If crepes tear, ensure the pan's heat is optimal. Consider adding vanilla or melted chocolate for variation.
