And now, here is where the art and creativity of gradient matcha mousse cake comes in:

Prepare five small bowls Don’t put matcha powder into the first bowl Then in bowls 2, 3, 4 and 5, put in different amounts of matcha powder Put increasingly larger amounts of matcha in each bowl The specific amount of matcha powder used, The measurements bellow.

Then like I said before, Make sure to add a little water at first About 1-2 teaspoons Into each bowl containing matcha powder. Then mix them all evenly, Then pour the mousse paste into each bowl.

It’s best if you have a small scale to help you pour an exact amount From bowls 1-5, add less paste as you go along The specific of mousse paste and matcha powder Is something I developed after experimenting And is most suitable

Other than the first bowl that doesn’t have any matcha, You will get four gradient bowls from light to dark of mousse paste.

Now, we take the completely cooled cake of the parchment paper And put it on the plate where you will assemble the cake. Take the mousse cake mold and position it And cut out a round cake bottom piece.

Carefully remove the surrounding cake, Try not to move the piece that you’ve already cut. Because, it can create a gap between the cake and the mousse cake mold.

Then pour the prepared mousse paste in. The bowl without matcha powder goes first Fill the entire mousse cake mold.

Then the one with the lightest color is next, Slowly and carefully pour from the center, This causes the lightest matcha gradient of the mousse paste to slowly spread out in the white mousse Afterwards.

It is the same According to color (from light to dark) slowly and carefully pour each bowl of mousse paste into the center Until the last bowl of paste with the deepest color and least volume.

After you finish pouring, place in the fridge, for at least 4 hours to firm the mousse. Then the mold can be removed When you remove the mold, you can use a hairdryer to help Use warm air to blow on the sides of the mold.
Then test with your hands, When you feel that the mold is loose Carefully slip it off.

This gradient matcha mousse cake with beautiful colors, Is complete When you cut, you can see that the inside has very sharp layers of color The recipe for this mousse yields a very light and non-greasy dessert And because each layer has a different concentration of matcha, You can experience different tastes I hope you like it!
