Matcha Raindrop Cake

Name is a slight misnomer since it’s just a normal raindrop cake with matcha and not a matcha flavored one :p. Raindrop cakes are basically just like eating water jello. haha. BUT, with a good sauce and powder they can be super elevated :D. Took me a while to find a ratio, but this is what worked in my hands.

1. Raindrop Cake:

• 1 g agar agar
• 10 g sugar
• 360 g filtered water

1. Add everything into a pot and heat up want until it just starts to boil and everything is dissolved.
2. Cool down and pour into round bottomed small containers or hemisphere molds.
3. Let cool in the fridge.
4. If using cherry blossoms, add those in right after you fill the molds.
5. Be careful when unmolding.

2. Matcha Kinako blend:

• 10 g kinako powder
• 5 g matcha
• 4 g granulated sugar

1. Just mix!

3. Matcha Syrup:

• 30 g water
• 3 g matcha
• 10 g granulated sugar

1. Add into a small saucepan and heat and reduce.
2. Want a thick consistency, so reduce accordinly.

Enjoy!
