I had it at the Hyatt in Guam and loved it!!Does anyone have the recipe for green tea cake roll (with red bean paste and cream as filling)?
Do you have a favorite plain jelly-roll that you like? Simply add two tablespoons of green tea powder to it, and reduce the vanilla (if any). You can buy canned or vacuum packed bean paste (or even just the beans are nice! -- stir in with the whipped cream). And the whipping cream you can also buy ready-made, or you can make it yourself.
Take one cup of VERY cold cream (you might even put the bowl and the beaters in freezer for a half hour), add one or two tablespoons of sugar. Whip for 5 to 8 minutes, and add a little vanilla. You could even add some green tea powder, but I think the contrast makes the cake lovely.
If you don't have green tea powder, take a good green tea, and whiz it in your blender until it is powdered. You may want to seive it to remove any larger tea leaves.
Good luck and have fun! I live in Japan, and I've had this here, too.Does anyone have the recipe for green tea cake roll (with red bean paste and cream as filling)?
Yes it is very yummy! I sometimes add green tea powder to my icebox cream cheese cake and it tastes good too. Here is the photo of green tea roll cake.

I first tried it in Tokyo a few years ago (bought some for my family), then I have tried another similar cake roll in Grand Hyatt Hong Kong (their dessert buffet is excellent!).

In separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to egg yolk mixture then fold in 1/2 of the meringue until smooth then fold in another 1/2 of the meringue carefully. Pour into a greased and lined 15 x 10 x 1 inch tray (place waxed paper in tray then grease the waxed paper). Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 12 minutes.
Tip cake onto a tea towel on which you have sprinkled confectioners' sugar. Remove the waxed paper and while hot, roll the cake and towel, from the narrow end. Cool on wire rack. When cool, whip the cream (sweeten and mix with red bean paste), unroll the cake, remove towel, spread red bean cream on cake and roll back up. Chill for 2 hours. Sprinkle icing sugar on top, cut into pieces. Enjoy!
