Description
A Matcha Mille-Crepe Cake is a visually stunning no-bake dessert that consists of multiple layers of crepes, each delicately filled with a light matcha cream filling. The crepes are made from a batter flavored with matcha powder, which infuses them with a vibrant green color and a unique earthy flavor. The cake is assembled by layering the crepes with a matcha cream filling, typically made with whipped cream or pastry cream. After stacking all the layers, the cake is chilled to allow the flavors to meld and the structure to set.
Ingredients
For the Matcha Crepes:
- 3 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup cake flour (or all-purpose flour)
- 2 tbsp matcha powder (sifted)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Matcha Cream Filling:
- 2 cups heavy cream (chilled)
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1–2 tsp matcha powder (sifted, adjust to taste)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crepe Batter
- In a blender or mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, flour, sugar, matcha powder, oil, and vanilla.
- Blend until smooth and lump-free.
- Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the batter rest.
2. Cook the Crepes
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat.
- Lightly grease the pan if needed.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl to coat evenly.
- Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges lift slightly, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Repeat until you have 15–28 crepes. Let them cool completely.
3. Make the Matcha Whipped Cream
- In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and matcha powder until stiff peaks form.
- Keep the cream cold until ready to use.
4. Assemble the Cake
- Place one crepe on a cake board or plate.
- Spread a thin layer of matcha cream evenly.
- Repeat layering crepe and cream until all crepes are used.
- Finish with a crepe on top and smooth the sides if desired.
- Chill the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
5. Decorate and Serve
- Dust the top with matcha powder.
- Optional: Add sliced strawberries, white chocolate shavings, or edible flowers.
