Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 50 g granulated sugar
  • 80 g cake flour
  • 1 tablespoon matcha powder ceremonial grade or high quality culinary grade
  • 40 g unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 400 g milk room temperature or warmed with the butter
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 40 g powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon matcha powder
  • 400 g whipping cream
  • ½ teaspoon matcha powder for dusting on top

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Fine mesh sieve
  • 10" frying pan
  • Ladle or ¼ cup measuring cup
  • Spatula
  • Parchment paper
  • Cake turntable
  • Cake board
  • Offset spatula
  • Piping bag
  • Open star piping tip

Method
 

Crepe Batter
  1. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until combined. Add cake flour and matcha powder, whisking into a thick batter.
  2. Incorporate melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, whisking until the batter is thin and watery; if thick, add liquids gradually.
  3. Strain the batter through a fine mesh sieve to remove lumps, then cover and chill in the fridge for 1 hour to thicken.
Cooking Crepes
  1. Heat a 10" frying pan on medium. Ladle about ¼ cup of batter into the center and immediately swirl the pan to spread it evenly.
  2. Cook each crepe for 2-2.5 minutes until edges slightly brown. Transfer to parchment paper to cool. Repeat for about 16 crepes.
Assembling the Cake
  1. In a large bowl, sift powdered sugar and matcha into ¼ of whipping cream, whisking until lump-free. Add remaining cream and whisk to soft peaks.
  2. On a cake board, layer a crepe, then spread 4 tablespoons of whipped cream evenly with an offset spatula, leaving a thin outer rim. Repeat with remaining crepes and cream.
  3. Cover and chill the assembled cake for at least 4 hours to allow the whipped cream to set.
  4. Before serving, dust the cake with matcha powder. Optionally, pipe leftover whipped cream dollops on top and garnish as desired before slicing.

Notes

For best results, ensure eggs, milk, and butter are at room temperature. Chilling the batter is crucial for crepe texture, and chilling the assembled cake allows the cream to set properly for clean slices. Use high-quality matcha for optimal flavor and color.
