Ingredients

Scale

Crêpe Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon matcha powder
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter

Whipped Cream Filling

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, matcha powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, then add the milk and melted butter, mixing well.
  3. Make Batter: Slowly whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Strain and Rest: Strain the batter through a fine sieve to remove any lumps and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to improve texture and flavor.
  5. Prepare Crêpes: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook Crêpes: Pour a small amount of batter (about 1/4 cup) into the skillet and swirl to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges lift and the crêpe is set.
  7. Flip Crêpes: Carefully flip the crêpe and cook for another 15 to 20 seconds until lightly browned.
  8. Stack Crêpes: Repeat this process with all the batter, stacking the cooked crêpes with parchment paper in between to prevent sticking and to keep them soft.
  9. Whip Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, creating a smooth and airy filling.
  10. Layer Cake: Place one crêpe on a serving plate and spread a thin layer of the matcha whipped cream evenly over the surface.
  11. Continue Layering: Alternate layering crêpes and whipped cream until all crêpes and cream are used, forming a tall, multi-layered cake.
  12. Chill Cake: Refrigerate the assembled mille crêpe cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set before serving.

Notes

  • Resting the batter overnight can enhance the texture of the crêpes.
  • Use a nonstick skillet for easy crêpe flipping and even cooking.
  • For a more intense matcha flavor, sift the matcha powder before adding to avoid clumps.
  • Ensure the whipped cream is chilled for better volume and stability.
  • Slice the cake gently with a sharp knife to maintain clean layers.
  • The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days but is best enjoyed fresh.
