- 75g (1/2 cup) Egg Yolks
- 100g (2/3 cup) Cake Flour

Cha, Cha, Cha… Time to do your Roll!
- Preheat your mighty oven to 200 Celcius or 390 Fahrenheit.
- Sift the cake flour, baking powder and, 15g (1/8 cup) of Matcha a couple of times (at least 5x).
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs yolks and add 25g (1/4 cup) of sugar. Whisk the mixture until light and volumed. When you lift the whisk, the mixture should pour slowly.
- Get yourself another large, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer (or get creative), add 75g (1/2 cup) of sugar slowly until reaching a foamy texture.
- Add half of the egg foam into the egg yolk mixture, fold the mixture a couple of times, once it is ready, pour it back on the rest of the egg foam and, continue folding.
- Add the dry ingredients, (A.K.A. the ones on step 2) into the bowl. Keep folding all of your ingredients, add a splash of milk and fold until they are combined.
- Cover your baking sheet (30cmx35cm) with parchment paper, pour the batter and tap it several times to eliminate bubbles.
- Bake for about 10-12min until golden. Once ready, remove the cake from the parchment paper and place it on a new one. Take this moment to roll the cake (while is hot) and let it cool down.
- Put the heavy cream, 5g (1 tsp) of Matcha Powder and, 30g (1/4 cup) of sugar into a large bowl, mix them (with the electric whisk) until the mix is smooth and spreadable. Add dried strawberries but, it is optional.
- Open your roll again (very carefully) and spread step 9 on your cake. Once it is ready, you can roll it again.
