Matcha Swiss Roll 抹茶蛋糕券
This Matcha Swiss Roll is light and soft with a hint of matcha flavour. I didn’t use Azuki red bean paste as I find it expensive for a small can and also it’s too sweet to my liking. Instead I used kidney beans and boiled them with little water and sugar, and mashed them to form a paste. Have a try on this yummy roll cake. I can assure you that no one can tell the paste is made from kidney beans and homemade too! 🙂
Matcha Swiss Roll
Ingredients
- 40 g plain flour
- 15 g rice flour
- 2 tsp matcha powder
- 40 g butter
- 90 g egg yolks - lightly beaten (about 5 egg yolks)
- 140 g egg whites - about 4 eggs
- 90 g caster sugar
1 can kidney bean - 400g, drain- 50 ml water
- 2 tbsp sugar
100g whip topping fresh cream
Instructions
- Filling - Combine kidney beans, water and sugar together in a small pot. Bring to boil at medium heat and simmer at low heat for about 5 minute till kidney beans softened . Mash kidney beans with a spoon or rubber spatula or blend to smooth if you prefer. Set aside to cool.
- Preheat oven to 200 deg C. Sift both flours and matcha powder together and set aside. Line a 8 x 12 inch rectangle cake pan with parchment paper.
- Melt butter in a pot, keep warm and set aside.
- Whisk egg whites until foamy at low speed. Then add sugar in 3-4 batches and beat until egg whites are glossy and stiff peaks form.
- Add egg yolks in batches and fold lightly with a rubber spatula. Sift the flour the second time into the yolk mixture and fold gently, then add warm melted butter and fold through.
- Pour batter into prepared cake pan and spread evenly with a palette knife. Bake for about 10-12 minutes.
- When cake is done, unmould from pan and leave to cool.
- Place matcha sponge cake on a plastic sheet or parchment paper, cake surface facing up (with a dry cloth placing beneath the plastic sheet to prevent slip while rolling the cake).
- Whisk fresh cream to peak form and spread on to sponge cake followed by the mashed kidney bean paste on top.
- Gently roll up the matcha sponge cake to make a Swiss roll and chill it for a few hours or overnight.
- Trim the sides of the cake roll and dust with icing sugar or snow powder on top of cake before serving.

All these days I kept putting off making the sweet red bean paste because I cant get any aduki beans. Now I know what to use. Looks very pretty.
Hi Ann, can this be made into a layer cake / sandwich cake?
Hi Esther, I’ve used this recipe before for my mandarin orange cream cake. Please have a look.

I love red beans and can’t help drooling over this lovely piece of ‘art’!
Hi Ann, Its very innovative of you to use kidney beans to replace the red azuki beans. Its really expensive for such a small can. Kindly advise the ingredients “rice flour’ – are you referring to glutinous rice flour ? can you take a picture to show me.

Hi Dorothy, Rice flour is 粘米粉 in Chinese, not glutinous rice flour. Is available in all supermarkets. You can see a picture of rice flour here.
