Green tea MaTCha!

Ohaiyo! =) Finally something more japanese yeah? Green tea roll yum yum..I bet you can find this everywhere! Loved by all, including my sister and I, has motivated me to attempt this light and 'healthy' cake..It has TEA in it and it's green! so no matter what you say it's still a healthy cake version to me =)! Plus mammy made homemade soy bean..Very asian tea time snack that weekend.



There's still much room for improvement but it's a very good first try I might say =)..Very leveled rising and balanced in taste as well..I got the recipe from a japanese translated chinese book! Mammy gave me some help since I can't read chinese..but I know a little japanese though =) Yes, I still haven't made my journey to KLCC to Kinokuniya TT..but still it's a very good book and not too expensive..So back to the cake, it's a regular roll cake with green tea and filled with green tea fresh cream! I wanted to add red bean bits into it but I realised it's really expensive to buy and it was too late for me to boil some..save it for the next time =)..So I placed some on the top for decorative purposes..haha lil cheats!




I had major problems rolling the cake..omg..everything was squishing out and soft and cracking and everything..stress mode was definitely on!..But I manage to make a section from the whole thing..you can see it;s a little flat and not as round as the ones  you buy from the bakeries..Taste wise it was good but the cake could be lighter.

Anyway that's all for now..will try many other new recipes to come..haha more free time now..some of you might know why.'winks'..Holiday mode is here! have a great start for JULY!..I hope mine will be =)
