Yesterday, while I was browsing the web, I saw the photo of a strange cake, transparent and shaped like a drop of water. As I am curious, I searched to know more and discovered that this is a Japanese "Raindrop Cake". I have found a recipe, discovered that I had what needed to make an experiment and I tried to make one. What to say, even if it looks nice but it is the tasteless thing I have ever tried. If you want to know more you can watch this YouTube video. Are you tempted to try?

It looks nice. Probably the kind of cake made to be seen, not to be eaten

@LadyDuck .. But it would melt within 30 minutes...what she sprinkled above might be what made it tasty...

No, they eat the cake, but I see no reason to eat a gelatin made with water and agar agar. It can be decorative if you can put a flower or something inside.

You have not really enticed me to try this Anna, so I will stick to the usual rubbish that I buy.

@LadyDuck It may be preferable to dark chocolate.

@Asylum NO! Dark chocolate has a distinctive taste, people can like or dislike, but something that tastes like "gummy water" has no sense.

Anything tasteless is not for me! That is why I hate water because it has no flavor-yuck!

I drink water every day, sparkling water, but drinking water is something "eating" a ball of water is weird.

I am tempted to try a little bit but i'll just take your word for it. I'd rather eat nata de coco ... they look the same but nata de coco taste "much better" and is so nutricious.

@LadyDuck To be honest i have no idea what is a panna cotta. I had to search for it on yahoo search. I saw several videos on how to make panna cotta. I think this one is much much better than the tasteless cake. I will try to make this one of these days.

@mammots I like panna cotta especially with a home made strawberry syrup.

They look more or less the same, but believe me that the nata the coco is much better. I will make a panna cotta next time.

interesting experiment but if so bland not much of a cake, though tasting of nothing is better than tasting bad

This is an interesting point of view and you are right, no taste at all is always better than a bad taste.

It's quickly done, then it has to rest in the refrigerator (like the jello), but it's not even worth trying.

@CRK109 The texture is more or less the same as the jell, the taste I would say "solid water".

You are right, because the "no" taste is the same of water, but drinking water is more pleasant.

My daughter mentioned these to me under some other name - it was something's tears, I think - and I looked them up. It looks completely pointless to me, so I decided to drop the idea.

Asian deserts are usually very bland, not sweet or flavorful like we are used to.

It can be pretty because it's transparent, let's say it can be a nice decoration, nothing more.
