Black Sesame Charcoal Crepe Cake
This was my own recipe. I made this for Fathers’ Day. It is the most manly-looking cake I could think of. My family loved it so I hope you do too!
Black Crepes:
1. In a mixing bowl, add 4 large eggs and beat them.
2. Sift in 185g of cake flour and 12g of charcoal powder. Mix to combine
3. Add in 55g of white sugar (I used caster), 2g of salt and 70g of melted butter.
4. Add in 500g of room temperature milk (in 3 additions to prevent lumps from forming). Mix well after each addition.
5. Sieve twice to ensure that it is lump free.
6. Rest crepe batter for 30 minutes before making about 20(?) crepes.
Black sesame cream:
1. To another mixing bowl, add 500g very cold whipping cream. Whip until a good amount of bubbles form, then add in 5g of charcoal powder, 55g of sugar and 185g of unsweetened sesame paste.
2. Using a stand/ hand mixer, continue whipping until you get medium peaks.
Assemble:
1. Keep layering crepe/ cream until one of them runs out. Dust with a sprinkling of black sesame powder.
2. Chill completely, preferably overnight. Enjoy!
