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.
