A simple, mini roll cake that is filled with a smooth and fragrant matcha cream. The perfect little treat to make on the weekend.
This roll cake is made in an 8x8 inch square pan, so the roll is actually only 8 inches long(tiny!) I generally prefer this size when making roll cakes, but feel free double the recipe and make it in a quarter sheet pan.
When making this recipe, make sure to use good quality, culinary-grade matcha for best results. A good-quality matcha should be vibrant green.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cake batter
1 egg white
25g sugar
small pinch of salt
vanilla, a drop
25g egg yolk
4g matcha
7g butter, melted
10mL milk
23g cake flour
Filling:
170g cream
1 and 1/2 tspn matcha
14g sugar
Decoration:
whipped cream
blueberries
mint leaves
edible flowers
Preheat the oven to 170C.
Grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan with butter, and line with parchment
For the cake: using an electric whisk, whisk the egg white and salt for 1 min, or until foamy, in a medium bowl.
Gradually add the sugar, and whisk until stiff peaks form. Mix in the egg yolk.
Sift in the cake flour and matcha powder. Fold.
Stream in milk and butter. Fold.
Pour into the pan, spread out evenly, and bake for 10 min.
Let cool on a wire wrack.
While cooling, make the filling: whisk the whipping cream, matcha powder, and sugar together until soft peaks form.
Once the cake has cooled, transfer it to a large sheet of parchment paper in preparation for rolling, face up. Apply cream to the surface of the cake, making a little log/hump of cream in the middle for the cake to roll around.
Roll the cake, using the parchment to guide, and chill for 3 + hrs.
Decorate with whipped cream, berries, mint, and edible flowers.
Enjoy! The cake should be stored in the fridge, covered, and should keep for about 3 days.
