Roll cakes are extremely popular in Japan, you can find them sold in most bakeries and cake shops, and they come is so many different flavors! My recipe mixes matcha powder and fresh blueberries to bring to the table something sweet and also a little good for you. It’s the perfect tea time snack!
Matcha is a high-grade green tea ground into powdered form. The green tea powder is whisked into hot water, instead of steeped, to form a frothy drink.
Beat the eggs and sugar.
Slowly add dry ingredients to the egg and sugar mixture and beat the mixture on low.
Pour batter over a baking tray.
Lay the sponge cake on top of the powdered sugar.
Roll the cake together with the towel and let cool.
Unroll the cake and evenly spread whipped cream on top. Add blueberries or sliced strawberries if you prefer.
Very gently and slowly re-roll the cake (without the towel this time).
Serve and enjoy!
