Ingredients
Scale
- 120 g cake flour
- 15 g matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 5 large eggs, separated
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 55 g milk, whole or 2% reduced fat
- 1 tablespoon ice cold water
- 1 teaspoon gelatin powder, or 1 silver gelatin sheet
- 60 g sesame maple black sesame spread
- 454 g heavy cream, very cold, divided
- 30 g confectioners sugar, powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a 15×10-inch jelly roll baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sifted cake flour, sifted matcha powder, baking powder, and kosher salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and milk until the mixture is pale in color.
- In another clean bowl, whip the egg whites to medium-stiff peaks.
- Add the dry flour mixture to the yolk mixture and fold to combine. Then add the whipped egg whites in three additions, gently folding to incorporate.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet and use an offset spatula to spread it into an even layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cake springs back when touched. Remove from the oven and run a mini offset spatula around the edges to loosen the cake.
- While the cake is still warm, invert it onto a clean kitchen towel and slowly remove the parchment paper. Use the kitchen towel to roll the cake into a log. Let it rest on a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
Notes
Ensure the heavy cream is very cold for better whipping results.
For stronger black sesame flavor, consider adding extra spread to the filling.
This cake can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
