Green tea swiss roll with green tea filling

Recently I ran out of green tea powder, I have been waiting for weeks to get some in the Asian supermarket :( Finally I bought it yay! I can't wait to make this green tea swiss roll, I am green tea lover.

I tried several green tea recipes, but I am very satisfied with this one - the color of the cake is so nice. The taste is good too!




Ingredients of cake (28-30cm)
6g green tea powder
25g warm water

3 egg yolks
20g sugar
30ml vegetable oil (except olive oil)
40ml water
60g flour

3 egg whites
40g sugar


Instructions
1. Preheat the oven at 190°c
In a small bowl, mix green tea powder and 25g warm water, set aside

2. Mix egg yolks with sugar, mix well
Add in oil, 40ml water and the green tea water, mix well

3. Add in flour, little by little, mix well

4. In another large mixing bowl, beat egg white and sugar, it is ok to add sugar in the beginning, it works
Beat the egg white until it is firm enough - when you turn the bowl upside down, the egg white stick the bowl

5. Fold in 1/3 egg white into the egg yolk mixture, with fast and light motion, not to break the egg white
Add the rest of the egg white

6. Line the swiss roll mould with baking sheet
Pour the mixture onto the mould, scrap the mixture to flat & even surface
Hold the mould and slightly tape it towards the table, to remove the excess air bubble

7. Put in the oven 190°c and bake for 12mins or until it is golden color
Let it completely cool down on a rack

8. Cut off the edges and set aside

Filling of cream
250g mascarpone
5cl whole milk
50g icing sugar
6g green tea powder

Beat the mascarpone and whole milk, mix well
Add in icing sugar and green tea powder, mix well

Store the cream in the fridge for an hour or until it becomes firm


Combination
1. Lay the filling onto the cake (the golden part face upward)
Use a spetula to spread evenly the filling

2. Roll the cake delicately upward, from one end to another end

3. Put the cake into the fridge for few hours before serving


Enjoy!
