GREEN TEA LAYER CAKE



Green Tea Layer Cake image

This is a light and moist cake that is not too sweet and has a refreshing green tea fragrance. The frosting uses cream cheese but has enough sweetness to mask the sour taste. The matcha (green tea) powder gives it a delicate green hue too. This cake can also be baked as a sheet cake in a 9x 13 inch pan or as 2 separate round cakes in two 8-inch round pans. Adjust baking time accordingly.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Crepe Recipes

Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
2 1/4 cups whole milk
6 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan
Green Tea Pastry Cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon matcha

Steps:

  • Crepes: Place flour, granulated sugar, salt, milk, eggs, vanilla, and butter in a blender. Blend well, about 1 minute, scraping down sides as needed. Refrigerate in blender jar at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Process batter again in blender briefly to remove lumps. Lightly coat a 10-inch crepe pan or 12-inch nonstick skillet with butter. Heat over medium until just starting to smoke. Remove from heat; pour about 3 tablespoons batter into center. Swirl to cover bottom. Reduce heat to medium-low; return pan to heat. Cook until edges are golden and center is dry, about 40 seconds. Flip crepe. Cook 15 seconds more. Slide crepe onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter and adjusting heat as needed; stack crepes. Let cool completely.
  • Assembly: For shingled sides on the cake, use the ring from a 10-inch springform pan. Place 1 crepe, golden-side up, on a flat serving plate. Spread 1/4 cup pastry cream over crepe, leaving 1/2-inch border if using ring. Top with a second crepe. Using 24 crepes total, continue layering crepes and pastry cream, ending with a crepe on top; if using ring, slide it down sides of crepes. Refrigerate cake until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 6 hours.
  • Just before serving, remove ring from cake, if using. Place parchment strips under perimeter of cake. Whisk together confectioners' sugar and matcha; sift over top of cake.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality green tea. This will ensure that your cake has a delicious, authentic flavor. You can use loose-leaf tea or tea bags, but make sure to grind them into a fine powder before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a light touch when measuring the flour. Too much flour can make the cake dry. Use a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup, and then level it off with a knife.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the cake dry. It is normal for the cake to be moist in the center.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Green tea cake is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
