Take the agar agar and water and put it in a saucepan.
Boil it a couple minutes, 5 tops, and just move it to the side to cool down. You need to put more water in the pot than the amount you need because some water will evaporate. Water is literally the only flavor you have in the cake so make sure you’re starting off right.) To pre boil the water I just dump a bunch of water into a pot and put it on high. (You know there is always a couple kinds of bottled water that taste funky or dirty or just not quite right. I use either a bottled water I like the taste of or I pre boil the water. Your ice cubes will be crystal clear and no funky stuff when melted. Now, try making ice by boiling the water first and then pouring it into the ice cube trays. Have you ever made ice by filling an ice cube tray straight from the faucet? The ice cubes end up cloudy and when they melt into a glass of water it looks like there are flakes or something floating in the water. It is best to use purified water so there are no impurities to make the cake cloudy or look hazy. You’ll get better quality agar agar for a much better price. However, if you have an Asian grocery store near you, go there. Usually it’s found with other Asian ingredients. Agar agar is found in most grocery stores. It is a setting agent made from seaweed so it is completely vegan. If you’re unfamiliar with agar agar, it is an alternative for gelatin. The cakes are made with 2 ingredients, water and agar agar. The cakes are very delicate and need to be eaten pretty quickly as they melt in 20-30 minutes. These are there to add flavor, sweetness, and texture. (They are called raindrop cakes because they look like a giant raindrop.) They are served with soybean flour, called kinako, and black sugar syrup, similar to molasses, called kuromitsu. Traditionally, these are a Japanese dessert called Mizu Shingen Mochi. With my version, the cake is traditionally made, but the added flavor is lemonade.
Isn’t that the fun of cooking though? Find something that inspires you and play with it so it becomes new. Let me be the first to say this is my interpretation of the cake.

Also, a little bonus, because it is basically just water, it’s fat free, calorie free, pretty much everything free and vegan. They look super cool and are surprising very easy.
A couple years ago these were all over social media.
