Giant Raindrop Cake

This stunning dessert is as beautiful as it is delicious! Made from clear agar-agar jelly and topped with sweet syrup, this raindrop-shaped cake is a unique and refreshing treat.

Instructions

1. 1

   To a large pot, add the 8 cups (2 L) of cold water and sprinkle in the agar agar powder. Whisk to combine. Let the agar dissolve in the water for about 5 minutes, whisking occasionally.

2. 2

   Add the sugar and whisk again to combine.

3. 3

   Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 3 minutes, until all of the agar and sugar have dissolved, then remove from the heat. Do not keep over the heat for too long or the agar will denature!

4. 4

   Pour the agar mixture into a large glass or ceramic bowl with a smooth bottom.

5. 5

   Refrigerate overnight, or until set.

6. 6

   Make the brown sugar syrup: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the brown sugar and water. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring the syrup to a boil and remove the syrup from the heat, transfer to a liquid measuring cup, and refrigerate until cool and thickened, about 1 hour.

7. 7

   Invert the raindrop cake onto a large plate or cutting board.

8. 8

   Top with the roasted soybean flour and brown sugar syrup.

9. 9

   Serve immediately.
