Magic Cake turns into three layers when baked. The bottom layer is like ‘Fudge’, the middle layer is ‘Custard’, and the top layer is ‘Sponge’. To make Matcha flavoured Magic Cake, I recommend to add slightly more Sugar and 1 pinch Salt. You can make Cocoa flavoured Magic Cake replacing Matcha Powder with Cocoa Powder. …
I had some leftover Arnott’s Choc Ripple Biscuits that were not crispy any more. Today I added them to Matcha Cake. The biscuits were soft and moist in the cake. Do you know Matcha and Cocoa are a good combination? This cake looks nice and tastes great. I always add Rum to Matcha flavoured cakes, …
This recipe was made when I tried to make Matcha Cupcakes with chopped Muscovado Block, which I call ‘Kurozatō’ (黒砂糖) in Japanese. I couldn’t find it in Melbourne where I live. Then I thought about Dates. Dates have similar colour and similar flavour to Muscovado. The result was very satisfying. Matcha and Dates are a …
If you have a microwave, you can make Matcha Jelly quickly and easily. When the jelly is set in a large drinking glass, break it with a spoon, and add cold Milk. Milk can be sweetened with Condensed Milk OR Syrup. This is a lovely treat on a hot summer day for Matcha lovers. Makes …
There are many different types of Chocolate Cake in the world. In Japan, there is one type of chocolate cake that is called with a French name ‘Gateau Au Chocolat’, and it is very popular. This White Chocolate and Matcha version is based on my ‘Gateau Au Chocolat’ recipe. Today I added 2 tablespoons Matcha …
These cookies melt in your mouth. I love the delicate powdery texture of these cookies. The cookie dough needs to be dry and just moist enough so that you can form it into balls. DO NOT add more Sugar to the dough because I think it will ruin the flavour. The cookies will get coated …
Steamed cake stuffed with ‘Tsubu-an’ (Sweet Azuki Paste) is one of my soul foods. It is easier to make than you think, however it can be challenging to wrap Azuki Paste with pastry. I absolutely recommend to freeze Azuki Paste. Roll it into balls, then freeze the balls, partially OR completely. That makes the wrapping …
I have shared some recipes for Matcha Jelly Desserts on this website, but this is certainly the easiest one. It is Vegan friendly as you use Corn Starch as a gelling agent. It is delicious as it is, but you may wish to enjoy it with whipped Cream, Matcha Syrup, Condensed Milk, Sweet Azuki Paste, …
The other day I made ‘Matcha Melting Moments’ and I had some leftover Matcha & White Chocolate Cream. I added some Flour and made a few cookies, and those cookies were really good. Then I tried to make them using my Shortbread recipe. The dough turned very dry and I needed to alter the recipe. …
I love ‘Melting Moments with Lemon Cream’. I bet you do, too. If you love Matcha, these ‘Matcha Melting Moments’ must be irresistible. I normally use Custard Powder to make regular Melting Moments, but, for these Matcha Melting Moments, I used Corn Starch because I didn’t want to add yellow colour to the cookies. You …
My Basic Pound Cake recipe is easy to remember. You would need 125g of each Butter, Sugar, Eggs and Self-Raising Flour (OR Plain Flour & Baking Powder). By adding extra ingredients to it, you can make a variety of Pound Cakes. Today I added Matcha Powder and Rum. White Chocolate Chips OR Walnuts can be …
‘Warabi Mochi’ is made with ‘Warabi’ (Bracken) starch flour and it is similar to ‘Kuzu Mochi’ which is made with ‘Kuzu’ starch flour. Those rare starch flours are not available for many of us, even in Japan. People make these sweets using some substitutes such as Potato Starch, that is widely available. Today I added …
