Matcha Crepes
- 650ml whole milk
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 20g melted butter
- 120g plain flour
- 2 tablespoons premium culinary matcha powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Vanilla Whipped Cream
- 235ml whipping cream

Method
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients - In a bowl, sift together plain flour and baking powder. Sieve the matcha powder over the flour mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Combine Wet Ingredients - In a blender, combine whole milk, sugar, eggs, and melted butter. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients in the blender. Blend until you have a smooth batter. Let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Cook the Crepes - Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter. Pour a small amount of the batter into the pan, swirling to evenly coat the bottom. Cook each crepe for about 1-2 minutes on each side. Repeat until you have approximately 16 crepes.
- Cool the Crepes - Allow the crepes to cool completely before assembling the cake.
- Whip the Cream - Place the whipping cream in the freezer for 15 minutes or place your bowl in a larger one filled with ice. Add sugar and vanilla extract gradually. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

- Optional Decoration - Dust the top of the crepe cake with a little extra matcha powder and icing sugar for decoration.
- Refrigerate - Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set.
