Matcha Soufflé Roll Cake
7.4.10yesterday i went over to my friend vickii's place and we had a little nice baking session. being matcha
a peek at our messy prep area but i love it. there's just something very peaceful about this picture that i like.
rolled up cake and the works - a generous sprinkle of matcha powder and gold foil. to be frank i was rather disappointed with the taste. while the texture was alright, it was too eggy for my liking (i hv this phobia with the strong smell in some eggs) and that overpowered the matcha taste. i'm not sure if it was becoz the cake needed time for the flavors to develop whereas i had it almost immediately upon cooling. and due to an oversight on my part (more like the lack of experience) i filled it with too much cream and it was a struggle to finish it, plus it made rolling difficult. oh well, better luck next time! vickii wasn't as fussy as i was and she felt the cake was good.
we sure had a swell time baking & having girly chats and you can be darn sure we'll be having another baking session. soon.

I love how neat your baking table is..I love that about baking. Getting everything neat and in order before starting it :) I cannot wait to get my hands on this book. It's not out in the UK yet and available for preorder but no news on when it'll be released. Which is a shame. Beautiful matcha roll! Thanks for sharing. x
ReplyDeleteHello! where do you get your matcha powder?
ReplyDeleteHave heard a lot about this beautiful Japanese book, and love the whimsical, elegant appeal of the swiss roll. I'm with you on the eggy taste problem, but you did a mighty good job with the roll! it's beautiful!
