Prep time:

20 minutes prep, 15 minutes baking, 30 minutes resting

Ingredients:

4 eggs
100 g sugar
100 g sifted flour
2 tsp of organic ceremonial matcha
1 tsp baking powder
250 g whipped cream or mascarpone
2 tbsp icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Toppings: matcha pearls, sesame seeds (optional)

Method:

Make the matcha sponge: Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the sifted flour, matcha, and baking powder. Fold gently until smooth.
Bake: Spread the batter onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove and let cool for a few minutes.
Prepare the filling: While the sponge cools, whip the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla (if using) until firm.
Roll the cake: Spread the whipped filling over the sponge. Roll it up gently, keeping it tight so the filling stays in place.
Finish: Chill for 30 minutes before slicing. For the final touch, dust with organic ceremonial matcha and add matcha pearls or sesame seeds on top.

Tip:

For an even stronger visual impact, serve your matcha Swiss roll on a dark plate. You can also pipe a little extra cream on each slice for a more refined presentation.
