I made this raindrop cake with flowers. The flowers add a surprising finish! Raindrop cake uses agar-agar instead of gelatin, resulting in a vegetarian dessert.
Raindrop cake is made out of agar, water, and sugar. I added a "milk" layer on the bottom, to add a slight creaminess.
You can serve this with brown sugar syrup, roasted soybean flour, and matcha.
Use any flower you want - as long as it's edible. I used marigold, and you can either keep the flower whole or break it into petals as I did.
I used a cereal bowl as my mold. You can use anything you want and make a fake lid using aluminum foil.
