Raindrop Cake Recipe - Strawberry &amp; Cherry blossom filling

water

tsp agar agar powder

cherry blossoms

strawberries

pineapple

brown sugar

Soak 6 dried edible cherry blossoms in cold water. Cut some pineapple or any other fruits you like into small cubes. Wash and pat dry 2 small strawberries. Optionally, cut the strawberries into flower shape using a mini cookie cutter. Keep the strawberries in the freezer of 30 minutes.

Soak 6 balloons in cold water.

Add 4 cups of cold water and 1 tsp of agar agar powder (or 20g Chinese jelly powder, this powder can your raindrop cakes look more clear and transparent) to a small saucepot. Stir until the agar agar powder and water are well combined. Turn on the heat to medium high, bring the mixture to a boil. Once the mixture is boiling, keep stirring over medium heat for 5 minutes until the mixture turns transparent.

Remove the agar agar mixture from the burner, let cool under room temperature for about 10 minutes until it&#39;s warm instead of hot.

Meanwhile, insert the cherry blossoms and fruit fillings into the balloons. I stretched the opening of the balloons with a mini cookie cutter, then inserted the fillings with my little finger. You can also use a straw or a chopstick.

Using a funnel, pour the agar agar mixture into a flip top water bottle.

Carefully slide a balloon&#39;s opening over the bottle&#39;s nozzle, use your left hand to tightly hold the balloon&#39;s opening, use your right hand to squeeze the agar agar water into the balloon. Fill the balloon until it&#39;s about the size of an orange.

Slide the balloon off of the nozzle, then tie it. How to tie a balloon.

Keep the water balloons in refrigerator for 3 hours to overnight until they are fully set.

Meanwhile, prepare some brown sugar syrup (see how to make brown sugar syrup in this post), roasted soybean powder, or Biscoff biscuit powder.

Hold the raindrop cake balloon over a plate, use a pair of scissors to cut off the knot of the balloon, remove the balloon from the raindrop cake.

To serve, drizzle some brown sugar syrup, roasted soybean powder, or some Biscoff biscuit powder on top of the cake.

You can let the raindrop cakes can stay in the balloons and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Strawberry raindrop cake

This raindrop cake is a low calorie and popular food trend that can be easily made at home with just a few ingredients!

Raindrop Cake

agar powder

1/2- 1 tbsp roasted soybean flour

black sugar syup

In a small saucepan, add agar powder and water and stir with a spatula a few times, until the agar powder dissolves into the water.

Turn your stovetop to medium heat and bring the agar water mixture to a boil. Maintaining a medium heat level, allow mixture to boil (without a lid) for one minute, then turn off heat. Try to be as accurate with the timing as possible. If you don't heat long enough, your agar won't be fully dissolved. If you cook too long, your mixture will condense down too much. Use a spatula to stir the mixture a few times. Pour mixture into molds. You should have enough to fill exactly two cavities if you are using the silicone molds I used.

Place molds into the fridge to set. I recommend letting them set overnight, or at least 10 hours. When they are ready, they should easily slide out just by you slightly tilting the molds. Do not take the cakes out of the fridge until you are ready to serve because they will start to melt after 20-30 minutes. Add your cakes to a plate. Add&nbsp;some soybean flour to your plate and drizzle black sugar syrup on top of the cake or on the side.
