Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup sifted cake flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 2 eggs, separated; 1/2 cup white sugar; 1/4 cup water; 1 tablespoon green tea powder; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; Filling:; 1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese; 1 tablespoon strong brewed coffee, or more to taste (optional); 1 tablespoon sifted confectioners' sugar

Servings: persons

1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan with waxed paper.
2
Combine flour and baking powder in a small bowl.
3
Beat egg yolks in a bowl using an electric mixer until light in color. Add 1/2 cup white sugar, water, green tea powder, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until well combined.
4
Beat egg whites in a small bowl using clean beaters until soft peaks form. Fold egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.
5
Sprinkle flour mixture over the egg mixture; fold until just combined. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden and cake springs back when lightly touched, about 12 minutes.
7
Mix cream cheese and coffee together in a separate bowl to make the filling. Sprinkle a piece of aluminum foil the size of the cake with confectioners' sugar.
8
Immediately loosen edges of cake from the jelly roll pan and turn cake out onto the sugared aluminum foil. Roll up foil and cake, starting from the cake's short end. Let cool to room temperature, at least 20 minutes.
9
Unroll cake and spread filling over the inside, within 1/2 inch of the edges. Roll up cake. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate, about 30 minutes.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
