Green Tea Crepe Cake (绿茶千层可丽蛋糕)

When I asked about crepe recipe, quite a few people say just mix flour, egg, milk, butter to your desired consistency, and lay them like pancakes. That probably is a correct statement since the portion is not that strict in making crepes, however it is hard to follow for first timers. I referenced the recipe from this Tinrry's video and Ivy's notes.

Ingredients

【Crepe】
Cake flour - 1.5 cup
Whole milk - 3 cup
Powdered sugar - 1/4 cup
Salt - 1 tsp
Egg - 6
Unsalted butter - 1/2 cup
Optional: Grand Marnier or RUM - 1.5 TBSP
Optional : MOCHA powder / green tea powder - 3 to 4 tsp

【Creme】
Heavy whipping cream - 4 cup
Powdered sugar - 1 cup
Gelatin - 1 bag (7g)
Green tea powder - 1 TBSP

Steps

1. In a big mixing bowl, add eggs, and gently beat it
2. Add milk to the big mixing bowl

3. Sift cake flour, (green tea powder, if added) powdered sugar, and salt into the big mixing bowl, and mix well.

4. Run the mixture thru fine mesh sifter, you should get a more consistent mixture.

5. Melt the butter in microwave or stove in a small bowl, then add 1 cup of the mixture from previous step in the hot butter, mix until butter is fully integrated into the mixture. Then pour the mixture with butter back into the big mixing bowl.
6. Refrigerate the batter for over 2 hours, or overnight.
7. In a non-stick frying pan, adjust stove to medium heat, make crepes as thin as possible. It takes about 1/4 cup per 8" crepe. The thinner you can make the crepe, the better.

8. Once you get all the crepes done, wrap them in parchment paper, and refrigerate for about half hour to let them cool down fully. Trim the crepes using a round bowl or cake pan as guide.

9. While the crepes are chilled, make whipped cream frosting.
10. Now just put one crepe, then a layer of whipped cream frosting, then another crepe, and another layer of frosting until you run out of crepes or frosting. It looks better if you can have at least 20 layers. Finally you can sift some powdered sugar or green tea powder on top for decoration.

11. Refrigerate the cake overnight before serving.
