Matcha Roll Cake with Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling

This light and earthy green tea sponge cake is rolled up with a tangy-sweet strawberry cream cheese filling. Perfect for a picnic or summer gathering!

Matcha Sponge Cake

• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp matcha powder (culinary-grade, vibrant green)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 15x10” jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar for 3–5 minutes until pale and fluffy. Add vanilla and milk.
3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, matcha, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined. Do not overmix.
5. Pour into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake 10–12 minutes until set and springy.
6. Remove from oven and rest 1–2 minutes. Flip onto a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar or fresh parchment.
7. Roll up gently while warm and allow to cool completely in rolled form.

Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling

• 1/2 cup (4 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries (blot excess moisture)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth and fluffy.
2. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and beat until creamy.
3. Fold in chopped strawberries. Chill 20–30 minutes before spreading to firm it up slightly.

Assembly

1. Unroll the cooled sponge cake carefully.
2. Spread chilled filling evenly over the cake, avoiding edges.
3. Roll back up gently and wrap in parchment or plastic wrap.
4. Chill for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
