Matcha Crepe Cake
Thin, buttery, and tasty Matcha Crepe from a French recipe, combining with mascarpone cream in between layers of the Mille crepe cake.
Ingredients
- 660 mL Milk
- 40 g Sugar
- 280 g Plain flour
- 4 Egg
- 20 g Matcha Powder skip for an original flavor
- 60 g Butter melted
Cream
- 500 mL Whipping cream
- 20 g Sugar
- 250 g Mascarpone
Instructions
Matcha Crepe
- Combine all the dry ingredients (sugar, flour, and matcha powder). Mix well.
- Make a well in the middle, add egg one by one. Use a whisk and gradually mix from the middle. You will gradually get the flour from the side.
- When it starts getting thick, add a little bit of milk and continue stirring. Keep repeating it until all the milk is added and all the flour has mixed well. The batter should be very runny.
- Add the butter, mix well and leave it in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Turn the heat of the stove up and heat a non-stick pan. When the pan is hot enough, reduce the heat to medium (and gradually reduce it during the cooking process).
- Start from the middle, gradually pour the batter to the center of the pan while tilting the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly.
- After a minute or two, until the bottom is not sticky, flip it over and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. Leave it on a wire rack to cool.
Cream
- Add the Mascarpone to a large mixing bowl.
- Add 20g sugar, mix briefly.
- Pour the whipping cream in it.
- Start whisking with a hand mixer on low speed, and gradually increase the speed to the max level until a stiff peak formed.
Assemble
- (Optional) Using an 18cm round cake form, trim the edges of the crepes nicely.
- Put a small bit of cream where you are going to assemble your cake.
- Start by putting a crepe on top, and spread a layer of cream evenly. Add another crepe, and a layer of cream - repeat until you put 20 crepes.
- We decided to spread the remaining cream around the cake, but this is up to you. Skipping it will give a different look, will still look great though!
- Sieve some matcha powder on top. More matcha powder may look better, but too much matcha powder will also taste a bit bitter, especially we try to put less sugar in the crepe and cream.
- Cut a piece and enjoy.
