Matcha and Strawberry Mousse Cake

Ingredients:

For the cake:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened matcha powder
  • 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the mousse:

  • 8 ounces high-quality white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup strawberry puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the matcha powder and milk until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the mousse:

  1. In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the white chocolate, stirring occasionally.
  2. Remove the melted chocolate from the heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract.
  5. Fold the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture until no white streaks remain.
  6. Fold the cooled white chocolate into the strawberry mixture until well combined.

Assembly:

  1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand.
  2. Spread a thick layer of mousse over the top of the cake layer.
  3. Repeat the process with the remaining two cake layers, creating a stacked effect.
  4. Dust the top of the cake with edible gold dust and serve chilled.
