Ingredients
Scale
- 120 g cake flour
- 15 g matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 5 large eggs, separated
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 55 g milk, whole or 2% reduced fat
- 1 tablespoon ice cold water
- 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
- 60 g sesame maple black sesame spread
- 454 g heavy cream, (2 cups), very cold, divided
- 30 g confectioners sugar, (powdered sugar)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a 15×10-inch jelly roll baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sifted cake flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and milk until the mixture becomes pale in color.
- In a separate, clean bowl, whip the egg whites until medium-stiff peaks form.
- Fold the dry flour mixture into the yolk mixture gently. Then, add the whipped egg whites in three additions, folding until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer using an offset spatula. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched. Remove from the oven and loosen the cake edges with a mini offset spatula.
- While the cake is still warm, invert it onto a clean kitchen towel. Carefully remove the parchment paper or silpat and use the towel to roll the cake into a log. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
Notes
Be gentle when folding the egg whites into the batter to preserve their volume.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
Use a sharp knife to slice the roll for clean edges.
