Gluten free Chocolate Thousand Layer Cake Recipe

Cake Ingredients:

1/3 cup butter, softened
1 heaped tbsp leatherwood honey
1 tbsp golden caster sugar
5 large eggs, separated
Pinch of salt
¼ cup potato starch
¼ cup rice flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp matcha powder, mixed with 1 tbsp water to form a paste
1 tsp cocoa powder, mixed with 1 tbsp water to form a paste

Matcha Butter Icing Ingredients:

½ cup icing sugar
1 ½ tbsp margarine or unsalted butter
½ tsp matcha

Cake Directions:

Cream the butter and sugar together. Beat in the egg yolks.
In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff. Fold into the yolk mixture, then fold in the flours & baking powder.
Divide the batter between two bowls.
Add the matcha paste to one bowl and the cocoa paste to the other. Stir well.
Line the bottom of a buttered 9” round cake tin with baking paper & grease.
Pour about ¼ cup of the chocolate batter into the tin, spreading to form a thin layer.
Place the tin in a steamer & steam for about 5-8mins, or until the layer is firm.
Spread ¼ cup of the matcha patter over this, tilting the pan to ensure even coverage. Steam until firm.
Repeat layering and steaming until all batter is used.
When you are finished with the last layer, steam the whole cake for another 30-40 minutes.
Let the cake cool, then remove from the tin.
Meanwhile, make the butter icing by combining all the ingredients together.
When the cake has completely cooled, slice in two & spread butter icing on one half.
Place the remaining half on top, and dust with cocoa powder & icing sugar.
