This ultra-light and fluffy matcha roll cake is an easy and elegant treat! Delicate sponge cake flavoured with Japanese green tea powder and filled with fluffy whipped cream and fresh raspberries. The matcha powder infuses the cake with its delicate yet earthy, sweet yet slightly bitter flavours. This matcha roll cake isn’t very sweet, which makes it a great dessert for those who appreciate fewer sweet treats.
