Does anyone have the recipe for green tea cake roll (with red bean paste and cream as filling)?

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!).

3 eggs, seperated


1 cup sugar


1/3 cup water


1/2 tsp. vanilla


1 tsp. green tea powder


3/4 cup flour (sift 3 times)


1 tsp. baking powder (sift with the flour)


1/4 tsp. fine sea salt


Confectioners' sugar (icing sugar)


1 cup whipping cream, (add sugar)


4 tbsp red bean paste (you can find canned red bean paste in Japanese gocery store)





Beat egg yolks several minutes, until thick and very yellow. Gradually beat in sugar (about 3/4 cup). On low speed add water, vanilla and green tea powder. In separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt, add 1/4 cup sugar and beat again till the egg whites very stiff peaks.


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!





Here is another recipe which I found in website.

4 tsp Matcha; 1 1/4 cups white sugar; 1 cup vegetable oil; 1 cup plain yogurt; 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract





Ingredients (Green Tea Frosting): 1 1/4 cups confectioner's sugar; 2 tsp Matcha; 2 tbsp butter, softened; 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened; 1/2 tsp vanilla extract; 1 1/2 tsp milk





DIRECTIONS - Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 - 9 inch round pans. Sift together the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking soda, salt, and 4 tsp. of matcha; set aside. In a large bowl, beat together sugar, oil, and eggs until smooth. Stir in 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla. Beat the yogurt into the flour mixture just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 30 minutes before removing from pans.





To make Green Tea Frosting - Sift together confectioner's sugar and matcha. In a medium bowl, combine tea mixture with butter, cream cheese, vanilla and milk. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.





To assemble the cakes - When the cakes are completely cooled, put one layer on a flat serving plate. Spread a thin layer of frosting over it. Place the other layer of cake on top, and spread frosting to cover the top and sides of cake. Dust with matcha if desired. Serve cold or at room temperature. Makes one 2 layer 9 inch rounds or one sheet.
Here's another recipe. Looks like a beautiful food.
