  • Hi, I'm Francis,

  • the host of this show "Cooking with Dog."

  • First, combine the cake flour and matcha green tea powder

  • and lightly mix in a bowl.

  • Then, sift the flour with a mesh strainer.

  • Repeat this 2 to 3 times to help avoid pockets of flour

  • and also to make the cake light and fluffy.

  • Next, let’s make the batter for the roll cake.

  • Using a hand mixer, beat 4 egg whites in a bowl.

  • When the white is foamy as shown,

  • add half of the sugar.

  • Beat it again

  • and then add the rest of the sugar.

  • Beat until the meringue reaches a stiff peak stage.

  • Lift the beaters to check if the stiff peaks form.

  • Remove the meringue from the beaters.

  • Then, lightly beat the 4 egg yolks in a bowl.

  • Add the sugar

  • and continue to mix.

  • Make sure to beat the egg whites first

  • otherwise the remaining yolk on the beaters will ruin the meringue.

  • Beat the yolk until thick and creamy.

  • Now, add the sifted flour to the yolk.

  • Using a balloon whisk,

  • mix until the flour is completely moistened.

  • Then, add one third of the meringue.

  • Lift the mixture with the whisk

  • and drop it into the bowl.

  • Repeat this to mix the batter thoroughly.

  • When combined,

  • add the rest of the meringue in two steps.

  • Lift the mixture and drop it into the bowl.

  • Try not to break the foam.

  • Repeat this mixing process about 100 times

  • while gradually rotating the bowl.

  • The batter will get glossy and smooth.

  • Now, pour the batter into the baking sheet

  • covered with the Kraft paper.

  • With a scraper, distribute the batter to the edges.

  • Be careful not to break the foam

  • and gently spread it evenly.

  • Then, drop the baking sheet a few times

  • to break any air bubbles in the batter.

  • Place it in the preheated conventional oven

  • and bake at 340 °F or 170 °C for about 25 minutes.

  • When 12 to 13 minutes passes,

  • rotate the baking sheet 180 degrees,

  • reversing the left and right sides.

  • This will help to bake the sponge cake evenly.

  • Now, remove the baking sheet from the oven.

  • Drop it a few times to prevent the sponge cake from shrinking.

  • Remove the cake

  • and place it onto a flat surface.

  • To keep it from drying,

  • cover with another baking sheet (or aluminum foil)

  • and let it sit to cool.

  • And now, let’s make the matcha roll cake.

  • Whip the cream to stiff peaks

  • and add the azuki bean paste.

  • Mix it evenly, making firm azuki cream.

  • Now, release the edges of the paper from the cake.

  • Cover the top of the cake with another sheet of paper

  • and then flip it over.

  • Carefully, peel off the paper from the bottom of the cake.

  • Place the paper on the bottom again

  • and then flip the cake over.

  • Using a knife, cut off the edge with a diagonal cut.

  • This will help to close the seam,

  • making the shape of the roll cake look beautiful.

  • Next, place the azuki cream onto the cake.

  • Distribute the cream with an icing spatula.

  • Coat it a bit thickly on the uncut side

  • since the near side of the edge will go to the center of the roll cake.

  • Sprinkle on the sweetened azuki beans.

  • Now, fold the edge of the cake

  • and then push the paper forward, rolling the cake.

  • Remove the paper

  • and wrap the roll cake with another sheet of paper.

  • Using a ruler, tightly wrap the roll cake as shown in the video.

  • Make sure to place the cake with the seam-side down.

  • Cover it with plastic wrap

  • and let it sit in the fridge to cool.

  • Now, the matcha roll cake is ready to serve.

  • Unwrap the plastic wrap and the paper.

  • Sprinkle on the powdered sugar.

  • Wipe the blade of a knife with a dampened towel

  • and cut out a slice.

  • Cocoa or instant coffee powder can be added to the batter

  • instead of the green tea powder.

  • You can also use your favorite fruits as fillings

  • if the sweetened azuki beans are not available.

  • Bakery paper can be also used

  • but you can remove the Kraft paper from the cake more easily.

  • Make sure to use a clean bowl and beaters

  • to help foam up the meringue.

  • Good luck in the kitchen!
