After a long hiatus, I’m finally back.

Most of my recent culinary and baking experiments have been Japanese.

I’m a massive fan of Japanese cakes and sweets, and I can’t get enough of them.

It’s really stunning in every way.

The Matcha Roll is one of my favorites, and it’s always on my list of things to eat when I visit Japan.

This recipe for Matcha Rolls is the result of many attempts and failures.

Moreover, I wanted to share it with Rasa Malaysia’s readers.

A matcha roll is a sponge cake folded with fresh cream and cooked adzuki beans stuffed with matcha powder (red beans).

Because it’s so moist and tender, the cake disappears as soon as you slice it to serve it.

INGREDIENTS

FOR FILLING:

INSTRUCTIONS

FILLING:

1. The cream and sugar should be whipped together until light and fluffy. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

CAKE

1. Bake at 230°C (440°F) for about one hour. The pan should measure 10″ x 12″ and be lined and sprayed with cooking spray.
2. Beat the egg yolks and half of the sugar together until they are pale and thick, then add the rest of the sugar. Use an electric mixer to stiffen the egg whites with the remaining sugar in a separate bowl. Fold the egg whites and yolks together.
3. Add the flour mixture and butter, and stir until well-combined. Bake for 10 minutes after pouring the batter into the pan.
4. After 10 minutes of cooling, remove from the oven.

ASSEMBLING

1. Take a piece of parchment paper and place the cake on top of it. Add red beans to the cake after spreading an even layer of cream on top. The cake should be rolled from the long end up. It should be refrigerated for at least an hour before serving once it has been wrapped up tightly.
