Matcha Mille Crepe Cake
The Matcha Mille Crepe Cake layers delicate green tea flavored crepes with lightly sweetened whipped cream, creating a tender and visually striking dessert. Each crepe is thin and has a subtle matcha aroma, balanced by the soft, airy texture of the cream filling. Optional thin strawberry slices add a fresh, fruity contrast to the creamy layers, making it an elegant treat for special occasions or afternoon tea.

Prepare matcha crepe batter:
- Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend for about 1 minute until smooth.
- Pour the batter into a measuring cup or mixing bowl and place into the fridge to rest, at least 30 minutes, or longer.
Make the crepes:
- Remove crepe batter from the fridge and give it a stir.
- Heat up a frying pan over medium-low heat.
- Lightly grease with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and wipe off any excess oil with paper towel.
- Using a ¼ C measuring cup, scoop the batter and pour about 2 tablespoon (half the cup) into the frying pan (I used an 6" frying pan), tilting it so the entire surface is coated with a thin layer of batter.
- Let it cook for about 2 minutes on one side, and then flip and cook for another 30 seconds on the second side.
- Remove the matcha crepe and place onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Repeat with the remainder of the crepe batter.
Make the whipped cream:
- Combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
- Whip the cream with a whisk until it reaches stiff peaks.
- Store whipped cream in the fridge until ready to assemble.
Assemble the matcha crepe cake:
- Place a matcha crepe onto a cake board.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream and spread it evenly over the crepe with an offset spatula.
- Place another matcha crepe on top and repeat the process.
- For the middle strawberry layer, add the matcha crepe, cover with cream, and add thinly sliced strawberries.
- Cover the strawberries with another layer of cream, and place a matcha crepe on top.
- Finish with a matcha crepe on top and a dusting of matcha powder over the surface.
- Decorate with additional whipped cream and strawberries.
- Place into the fridge to firm up, at least 1 hour.
- Slice with a sharp, serrated knife and serve chilled.
Notes
- Let the crepe batter rest in the refrigerator at least 30 minutes for best texture.
- Use a gentle heat when cooking crepes to prevent tearing and ensure even cooking.
- Chill the assembled cake to allow the whipped cream layers to set for cleaner slices.
- Fresh strawberries add a nice contrast but are optional depending on your preference.
