Sakura Raindrop Cake

Raindrop Cake is a Japanese dessert that has recently gained popularity around the world. It is a transparent, jelly-like dessert made from agar-agar and water. The dessert is shaped like a droplet or a raindrop, hence its name. It is often served with sweet accompaniments such as roasted soybean flour, kinako powder, and black sugar syrup. To celebrate the Sakura season in Vancouver, I incorporated salt-pickled cherry blossom into my raindrop cake, resulting in a visually stunning and delicious dessert.
