This one is super, duper yummy. Szeqi deosn't like it though. A few of my colleagues and I concluded that if you like anything green tea, esp cakes and pastry, it is a sign that you are over the 30s. The opposite is not true though. So far, our "thoery" has not been proven otherwise. Ha, ha, ha

Wow, Happy Flour, you have such good hands to make swiis roll so perfect! Mine is forever out of shape!! May I know what kind of green tea powder you use? is it those from supermarkets that people use for green tea drink? Or you got it form baking shops? Thanks. Cause the one I have though it give very nice green colour, I wonder is it purely matcha powder, or they have added coloring. Thanks!

HI Dear,

I also use the same Matcha, before I got this new one from Seah Street baking shop. But i find the one from the small tin matcha's color was rather Yucky after mixing with the egg yolks (yellow).... Anyway, if I come across any good ones I will share with everyone!

Juliana said...

Absolutely lovely rolls, love the green tea flavor and even more with the red bean in it :-) Great presentation as well!

Happy Flour said...

Hi Juliana,

Thanks for your lovely words. :)

How did your cake turn out so fluffy? I followed your instructions but my cake turned out flat and dense. Should the egg whites be separated from the yolks first and then whipped until stiff peaks form?

Happy Flour said...

Hi Anonymous,

This swiss roll uses the whisking method (whisking egg and sugar together) not the separate egg method. Either your egg batter didn't whisk until thick enough or the oil mixture was not mix in properly so the cake turned out flat and dense.

Hi, i only have a 10" x 12" tray. May i know how much i have to increase the time by if i bake it inside my tray? And would it be okay to bake it in such a size? since your recipe uses a bigger one.Thanks!

Happy Flour said...

Hi Weili,

I'm not sure about your oven heating power. When I used a 10" x 12" tray, I'll baked it at 200C for 10mins too.

Hi,
Oh, i can use the same timing for it? When you baked it at the same temperature, did it come out okay still, as in same results as when you bake it in 10" x 13"?

Happy Flour said...

Hi WeiLi,

It the same result just thicker only.
