Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cream

1. Beat all ingredients with a mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

Prepare Matcha Soak

1. Pour hot water (not boiling) over matcha powder.
2. Whisk with a bamboo whisk until fully dissolved and brewed.

Step 3

Assemble the Cake

1. Place a pastry ring in the center of a cake board.
2. Spread a small amount of cream around the inside circumference and stand the Savoiardi cookies upright as a border.
3. Spread a portion of cream inside the ring.
4. Dip Savoiardi cookies in the matcha soak and layer them over the cream, then cover with more cream.
5. Repeat this process until you use all the cookies and cream.
6. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for 6-7 hours, ideally overnight.
7. Carefully remove the pastry ring and tie a ribbon around the cake for support.
8. Decorate with berries.

Step 4

Serving Tip

1. Keep some extra Savoiardi cookies on hand in case the border cookies soften. Replace them with dry, whole cookies before serving for a better appearance.

Servings

When it's time to serve your Matcha Berry Cake, the options are as exciting as the cake itself. For an extra touch of elegance, top your cake with a dusting of additional matcha powder 🥢 or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Fresh berries 🍓 add a burst of color and flavor, making each slice a treat for the eyes and the palate. You can also drizzle a bit of honey 🍯 or chocolate syrup 🍫 over individual servings for a sweet twist.

If you're hosting a gathering, elevate the experience by pairing the cake with a refreshing matcha latte 🍵 or a chilled glass of prosecco 🥂. For an added touch, consider serving small bowls of whipped cream or a side of berry compote so guests can customize their slices.

Don't forget to keep some extra Savoiardi cookies 🥄 on hand. If your border cookies soften too much, swap them out just before serving for a perfect presentation. Your guests will marvel at your attention to detail and creativity! 🎉

Faq

  • Why did my cream turn out lumpy?

    Make sure all your ingredients are at the same temperature before mixing. Cold mascarpone can create lumps.

  • How can I keep my Savoiardi cookies from getting too soggy?

    Dip your cookies in the matcha soak quickly. They should be moist, not drenched.

  • Can I use store-bought matcha powder for this recipe?

    Yes, but ensure you're using high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor.

  • What other fruits can I use for decoration?

    Berries work best, but you can also use thin slices of kiwi, mango, or even edible flowers for a fresh look.

  • Can I prepare this cake in advance?

    Absolutely! This cake benefits from chilling overnight, making it perfect for preparing a day ahead.

  • How do I store leftover cake?

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 2-3 days for the best taste.
