Ingredients
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) with a rack in the center position and lightly grease a half sheet pan (roughly 18-inch long x 13-inch wide) with baking spray; line with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper.
- Sift together the cake flour, matcha, and salt and set aside.
- Place the egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whisk on high until light and foamy; slowly sprinkle in 0.5 cup (100 g) granulated sugar and continue whisking until the egg whites reach medium peaks, then transfer to a large clean mixing bowl and set aside.
- Wipe the stand mixer bowl clean; combine the egg yolks, the remaining 0.5 cup (100 g) granulated sugar, and vanilla extract and beat on high until ribbony and pale yellow, about 3 minutes.
- Add about a third of the egg whites to the beaten yolk mixture and gently combine using the whisk attachment; repeat with the remaining egg whites in two more additions, folding gently with a large spatula.
- Sprinkle roughly a quarter of the cake flour mixture onto the sponge batter and fold in gently with a spatula; repeat until all the flour has been incorporated and the mixture is smooth and fluffy, scraping the bottom of the bowl as needed.
- Transfer the batter onto the prepared sheet pan and spread into an even layer using an offset spatula so the batter fills the entire pan.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until light golden in color.
- As the cake bakes, lay a clean kitchen linen on the countertop and dust it with confectioners' sugar using a fine-meshed sieve.
- As soon as the cake is removed from the oven, loosen the edges with a knife if necessary and quickly invert the sheet pan onto the sugar-dusted linen; carefully peel off the parchment paper and dust the cake with another thin layer of powdered sugar.
- While the cake is still warm, roll the cake and linen, narrow end to narrow end, into a tight spiral (the linen should be rolled with the cake so the cake does not touch itself) and cool on a wire rack in the linen until room temperature.
- Unroll the cooled cake so it lays flat and spread a very thin layer of Bonne Maman Raspberry Preserves onto the cake using an offset spatula.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract; beat starting on low and increasing to medium-high until thick and medium peaks form.
- Lightly mash the fresh raspberries in a small bowl with a fork (chunks should be visible) and gently fold the mashed raspberries into the whipped cream.
- Spread the raspberry cream into an even, thin layer on the cake, leaving about a 0.75-inch border on all sides.
- Carefully re-roll the cake (without the linen), narrow end to narrow end, into a spiral and place seam-side down on a long serving platter or small sheet pan.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 60 to 120 minutes to set the cream and filling.
- Just before serving, dust the cake generously with confectioners' sugar and garnish with additional raspberries as desired; serve immediately.
