Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp matcha powder
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a bowl, whisk 3 eggs and 1/2 cup sugar until pale and thick, about 3 minutes. Fold in 1/2 cup flour and 1 tbsp matcha until just combined.

  3. 3

    Pour batter onto the prepared sheet and spread evenly. Bake until the top springs back when touched, about 10-12 minutes.

  4. 4

    While the cake bakes, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tbsp powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Turn the warm cake onto a clean towel, peel off the parchment, spread the whipped cream over it, and roll it up tightly. Dust with extra matcha before slicing.
