How to Make a Red Bean Cake Roll: A Simple Guide

A red bean cake roll is a delightful treat, combining soft, fluffy sponge cake with sweet red bean paste. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making this delicious dessert.

First, gather your ingredients: 5 eggs, 60g sugar, 60g cake flour, 15g milk, 30g vegetable oil, and 200g sweet red bean paste. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 28x28cm baking tray with parchment paper.

Next, make the sponge cake. Separate the egg yolks and whites. Beat the yolks with 30g sugar until pale, then add milk and oil, mixing well. Sift in cake flour and fold gently until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with the remaining 30g sugar until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in three batches, being careful not to deflate the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared tray and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Immediately invert the cake onto a clean towel, peel off the parchment paper, and spread the red bean paste evenly over the surface.

Starting from one edge, roll the cake tightly with the towel, then let it cool completely. For a finishing touch, dust the roll with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate. Slice and serve, and enjoy your homemade red bean cake roll!
