Ingredients
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 tablespoons taro bubble tea powder
– 1.5 cups milk
– 2 eggs
– 2 tablespoons melted butter
– A pinch of salt
– 2 cups heavy cream (whipping cream)
– 3 tablespoons taro powder
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– Oil or butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
1-First Step: Prepare the Batter Start by blending 1 cup all-purpose flour, a pinch of salt, 2 tablespoons taro bubble tea powder, 1.5 cups milk, 2 eggs, and 2 tablespoons melted butter until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. This initial step ensures even flavor distribution and helps the taro powder dissolve properly.
2-Second Step: Rest the Batter Refrigerate the blended batter for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight, to hydrate the flour and release air bubbles, which makes the crepes softer and easier to cook. This resting period, taking about 1 hour to overnight, is crucial for achieving those delicate, elastic layers that stack well.
3-Third Step: Cook the Crepes Heat a 10-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter to prevent sticking. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the pan, swirling it quickly to form a thin, even layer, and cook for 1 minute until the bottom browns lightly.
4-Fourth Step: Flip and Repeat Carefully flip the crepe and cook for just 10-15 seconds on the other side before removing it to a plate. Repeat this process for 15-18 crepes, which should take around 30 minutes total, and let them chill in the refrigerator for a few minutes to firm up.
5-Fifth Step: Make the Taro Cream Filling In a mixing bowl, whip 2 cups heavy cream with 3 tablespoons taro powder and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, which usually takes 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer. This step creates the sweet, creamy filling that ties the cake together, so ensure it’s thick enough to hold its shape.
6-Sixth Step: Assemble the Cake Lay one crepe on a serving plate and spread a thin, even layer of the taro cream filling over it, then top with another crepe and repeat for 10-15 layers in total. Once stacked, refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to set, allowing the flavors to meld and the structure to firm up.
7-Final Step: Serve and Enjoy After chilling, slice the cake with a sharp knife for clean portions and add optional toppings like maple syrup for extra flavor.
