I've been trying to find something to cook for the female I find significant, are there any ideas in this vast interweb world?What is a fantastic Japanese styled dessert? I need the recipe too.?
Green Tea Cakes





* 4 eggs + 1 egg yolk, divided


* 1/2 cup sugar


* 1/3 cup cake flour


* 2 tablespoons cornstarch


* 2 tablespoons powdered green tea


* 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar


* confectioners' sugar


* 6 tablespoons almond paste


* 1 cup heavy cream


* 4 teaspoons superfine sugar





Preheat oven to 450 degrees Farenheit.


With an electric mixer, beat 2 whole eggs, 3 egg yolks, and 7 tablespoons sugar together until thick and tripled in volume, about 5 minutes.


Sift together flour, cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon green tea. Sift mixture onto beaten eggs and fold in. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Beat in remaining 1 tablespoon sugar until stiff. Fold into batter.


Spread batter in a shallow 11 x 7'; pan that has been greased and lined with greased and floured wax paper. Bake until lightly browned and springy to touch.


Loosen edges of cake. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, then cover with a kitchen towel and invert onto a flat surface. Let cool. Using a biscuit cutter or other decorative cutter, cut out 24 pieces of cake.


Knead almond paste with 1 teaspoon green tea. Roll out thinly between sheets of plastic wrap. Using a small cookie cutter, cut out 12 decorative shapes.


Gradually whisk heavy cream into superfine sugar and remaining 2 teaspoons green tea, then beat until not quite stiff. To assemble cakes, sandwich two cake layers with about 1/4'; green tea whipped cream. Frost top and sides with whipped cream and decorate with almond paste cutouts. Chill until serving.What is a fantastic Japanese styled dessert? I need the recipe too.?

i don't have a microwave, so i : heat the sugar and water first. Remove form heat. add flour. town down heat and cook for 2 more mins. cool for 15 mins, stirring occasionally.

100 grams mochiko flour


180 mililitres water


50 grams flour





the mochiko can be hard to find... also, practise this one a coupl of times first cos it can go very wrong!! gd luck! xx
