Matcha towel cake, a delicate and visually delightful Japanese-inspired dessert, combines the earthy flavor of matcha with the soft texture of rolled cake. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating this treat at home.
Ingredients:
- 100g all-purpose flour
- 50g cornstarch
- 80g granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 30g melted butter
- 20g matcha powder (high quality for vibrant color)
- 200ml milk
- A pinch of salt
Steps:
1. Prepare Batter: Whisk eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Sift in flour, cornstarch, matcha powder, and salt; fold gently. Gradually add milk and melted butter, mixing until smooth.
2. Bake: Pour batter into a lined 30x30cm baking tray. Bake at 180°C for 12-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
3. Roll: Spread whipped cream (or cream cheese frosting) evenly over the cake. Gently roll from one end into a log, using parchment paper to help shape it.
4. Chill & Serve: Wrap the roll in parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set. Slice and dust with extra matcha powder before serving.
Tips: For a richer flavor, add 1 tsp vanilla extract to the batter. Ensure the cake is cool before rolling to prevent cracking. Enjoy this elegant dessert with a cup of green tea!
