Instructions to make Green Tea and White Chocolate Mousse Cake:
- For the sponge cake: Line a 21 cm round cake pan with parchment paper. In a separate bowl, sift the matcha and cake flour 2-3 times.
- Add sugar in 3 batches to the eggs, put the bowl over a pot of simmering water and whip with an electric hand mixer set to a high speed. Whip until bubbles form and remove when the mixture is warm to the touch.
- Beat the mixture at a lower speed once it becomes heavier and starts to thicken.
- Stop mixing once the mixture thickens and forms ribbons.
- Sift the powdered ingredients into the bowl in three or more batches and cut through the batter with a spatula. Do not over mix.
- Microwave the butter and milk in a heatproof container for 30 seconds until the butter melts.
- Add a scoop of the mixture into the milk butter from Step 6 and mix well.
- Gradually add the ingredients from Step 7 to the ingredients from Step 5, mixing it well with the spatula. Scrape up the ingredients from the bottom of the bowl (do not knead).
- Pour the mixture from Step 8 into the cake pan, drop the pan slightly to remove bubbles.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes at 340°F/170°C in the oven. Poke a bamboo skewer into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
- Drop the cake from a height of 20 cm once to prevent it from shrinking and flattening. Once it cools down, remove it from the baking sheet.
- Using cling wrap, plastic bags or a wrung out wet cloth, wrap the cake with the browned bottom facing down.
- Once the cake is completely cool, match the cake up to the size and shape of an 18 cm springform pan to cut it out. Place the cake on a plate with the browned part at the bottom.
- Let's prepare the white chocolate mousse first. Soak the gelatin in water.
- Whip egg whites until stiff peaks appear.
- Whip the fresh cream (250 ml) until it is soft and creamy (not too much!)
- Take out 100 g for the matcha mousse and chill in the refrigerator.
- Heat the milk in a pot. When it starts to bubble at the edge, turn off the heat and melt the white chocolate.
- Add the gelatin from Step 14 to the white chocolate mixture in Step 18 and dissolve everything. If it doesn't dissolve, warm it up again over low heat. (But make sure it's not too hot!)
- Add the mixture from Step 19 to the cream from Step 16 (150 ml) and mix well.
- Add the egg white (whipped) from Step 15 to the mixture from Step 20. Mix it well but do not break the foamy texture of the whipped egg white.
- Pour the mousse on top of the sponge cake from Step 13, smooth out the surface and chill in the refrigerator.
- For the matcha mousse. Soak gelatin in water.
- Add egg yolks and sugar into a bowl and whip until it becomes thick and white.
- Add the matcha and hot water into a pot and mix well. Add milk and dissolve the matcha over low heat.
- When the edge of the green tea mixture starts to bubble a bit, turn off the heat and add the gelatin from Step 23.
- Add the hot green tea mixture from Step 26 into the egg yolk mixture from Step 24 and mix well.
- Add the egg and green tea mixture from Step 27 to the chilled fresh cream from Step 17 and mix.
- Pour the green tea mixture from Step 28 into the mold with the chilled mousse from Step 22 and chill for another 2 hours in the refrigerator until it is set.
- Once the mousse is set, sift matcha on top with a tea strainer to decorate.
- Removing the cake from its mold will be easier if you wrap the mold with a warm and wet towel.
- Here I sliced a 19.5 cm square sponge cake into two pieces, and then used a 5.5 cm cake ring to cut them again into this shape. I also used mousse film around the cake to hold it together. When you cut it out like this, you get 13 portions.
Use Food to Boost Your Mood
Most of us have been trained to believe that comfort foods are bad and to be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this holds true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be altogether nourishing and it’s good for you to consume them. A number of foods really do raise your mood when you consume them. If you feel a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try several of these.
Eggs, you might be astonished to discover, are fantastic at fighting depression. You need to make sure, though, that what you make includes the yolk. The egg yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, particularly the egg yolks, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you elevate your mood. This is because the B vitamins help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–run better. Try to eat an egg and feel happier!
Put together a few trail mix of nuts or seeds. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all fantastic for helping to elevate your mood. This is because these foods are rich in magnesium, which helps to boost serotonin levels. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that dictates to your brain how you feel all the time. The more of it in your brain, the more pleasant you’ll feel. Not just that, nuts, particularly, are a great protein food source.
Cold water fish are great for eating if you wish to beat back depression. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3 fatty acids. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s the truth: eating tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you overcome your depression.
Grains can be great for overcoming a terrible mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all actually excellent for helping raise your happiness levels. These grains can help you feel full for longer also, which is a mood improver. Feeling starved can be awful! These grains can improve your mood as it’s easy for your body to digest them. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps raise your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.
Green tea is really good for your mood. You knew green tea had to be in this article somewhere, right? Green tea is found to be chock-full of an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid essentially stimulates brain waves. This helps better your mental sharpness while having a relaxing effect on the rest of your body. You likely already knew how easy it is to become healthy when you consume green tea. Now you are aware that it can help raise your mood as well!
As you can see, you don’t need to consume all that junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Try some of these suggestions instead.
