Cake Hype- Raindrop Cake| What Is it Actually?

Ever heard of a Raindrop cake? Google an image and you will find that it looks like a transparent/ translucent blob of jelly.

If you are curious how this Raindrop Cake taste like, it is a light and refreshing dessert and it would taste quite bland if you do not add any colouring to it. But since it is a Raindrop Cake, it needs to be transparent and thus, no colourings or flavourings will be added as we do not want to distort the colour of the cake. Trying to retain the transparent colour of the agar is important to create a raindrop like effect.
