Rainbow Agar Agar Jelly Cake

Agar-agar is a typical Asian ingredient used in desserts. It is a natural vegetable gelatin counterpart. White and semi-translucent, it is sold in packages as washed and dried strips or in powdered form. It is a good substitute to gelatin for the vegans. The texture is a little more firm compared to jelly or gelatin, but it taste even better on its own. The reason choose a rainbow theme for this cake, is to show how beautiful it is in its translucence. Hope you’re inspired with this phenomenal cake recipe. Enjoy!
Note: You may get agar agar powder in Chinese or Japanese groceries stores.

Ingredients:
Sugar Syrup
2000 ml (10 cups) water
3 long strips pandan leaves
2 cups sugar
Layers with Coconut milk (every alternate layers, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11)
150ml (3/4 cup) water
1 tsp agar agar powder
2 tbsp coconut milk
Gel Colorings (purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red)
Layers without coconut milk (transparent, layer 2, 4, 6, 8, 10)
150ml (3/4 cup) water
1 tsp agar agar powder
Gel Colorings (purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red)
Instructions:
Prepare the sugar syrup

Prepare the layers
Layers with coconut milk
3. In a measuring cup, add the sugar syrup. Measure a consistent amount to get even layer of height that you desire. In that case, I measured about 150ml of syrup.
4. Pour into a small pot on low heat. Add the agar powder. Stir until the powder is dissolved. Then pour back into the glass.
5. Add the coconut milk and food gel coloring. Remember only every alternate layers need the coconut milk. Add purple gel color for the 1st layer. Give it a good stir. Gently pour into the prepared pan. Freeze for 5 minutes or until it is set, while preparing for the next layer.
Layers without coconut milk
6. Repeat no. 3 and 4. Then add the next food gel coloring. Give it a good stir. Gently pout into the prepared pan. Freeze for 5 minutes or until it is set, while preparing for the next layer.
7.For next layer (with coconut), simply repeat no. 3, 4, and 5, except adding the next food gel coloring. (blue)
8. For next layer (without coconut), simply repeat no. 6, except adding green food gel coloring. (green)
9. For next layer (with coconut), simply repeat no. 3, 4, and 5, except adding green food gel coloring. (green)
10. For next layer (without coconut), simply repeat no. 6, except adding yellow food gel coloring. (yellow)
11. For next layer (with coconut), simply repeat no. 3, 4, and 5, except adding yellow food gel coloring. (yellow)
12. For next layer (without coconut), simply repeat no. 6, except adding orange food gel coloring. (orange)
13. For next layer (with coconut), simply repeat no. 3, 4, and 5, except adding orange food gel coloring. (orange)
14. For next layer (without coconut), simply repeat no. 6, except adding red food gel coloring. (red)

16.After the last layer, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for serving.

That is Amazing. How do you come up with this. I watch to the last second. I have never thought of something like that, well...., maybe that’s because I specialize in meat. Lol👍🏼💪🏼🇺🇸

MeatHead. I am glad you didn't feel such a pain to watch the repeatedly over the layers. Yes, you are the king of meat, maybe you should do a challenge to bake a cake 😁 thanks for watching pal

[@utoob22]

MeatHead lol. Ive used agar before and it never really behaves like the jelly were used too amd always has a chemical smell even tho u can mask it. But weldone to tbe chef who created it. I just dont eat it perosnally

[@gracioustreatz7231]

H. Chemical smell? No way. Lol. Gelatin is the one with chemical smell. Agar is a natural plant ingredient. Of course texture wise, is not like jelly. It's totally a different thing from mousse. It's kinda an Asian delicacy. Anyway, great comment. Thanks 😊 😁

[@utoob22]

Gracious Treatz ask any chef and they will tell u same thing . Agar has a chemical type smell .

[@jimmychoy2049]

Hi there! I just became a new follower! 😊 For this recipe, may i know if i can use with the dried strips of agar2 instead? And how many strips do u suggest i use? Thanks!

[@gracioustreatz7231]

Hidah Rahmat. Hi there! It sounds like you are familiar with agar then. Yes, most definitely you may use the strips. In fact, the strips will be easier to set. I am glad you ask. If you are using the strips, you will only need to boil the pot of sugar syrup with it, which makes your life much easier. Hope it makes sense 😊

[@msgodette]

A friend made this and it's soo yummy that my mum wants me to try! Question: I want to make this with only four thicker layers instead of the many thin ones in your recipe. How long would I need to cool the thicker layers before adding the next one please? Thanks so much!

[@gracioustreatz7231]

Hi dear. For each of my thin layers, it took about 5 minutes. You can chill in fridge or freezer, totally up to you. If your layers are double thickness, maybe chill for about 8 minutes. It doesn't have to be completely harden. Only the surface is set will do, because you want the layers to stick together. You can touch with your finger. If the surface is not sticking to your finger, you can already pour another layer over it. Hope this helps ☺️

Hi, I'm wondering if you remember how long you're taking for the whole process? The video is very detailed for each steps. I will try it out. Thank you.

[@gracioustreatz7231]

It didn't take me too long. Once you got the hang of the first layer, the rest just the same process. It took me about 1½ hour to complete the 12 layers. Please remember you'll need to get the first layer right. It has to be set and that means your agar amount is right. Some brands varies a little bit. each layer should set in fridge within 5 min. Maybe give it a try, you'll know what I mean

Hi, may I ask what is the reason that the layers separated easily? TQ 😃

It's the nature of the agar. It will set when it gets chilled. Once it's set, you can pour the next layer. Hope I answered your question 😊
