Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a Swiss roll tin with baking paper.
Whisk the eggs and caster sugar together with an electric mixer for 6 minutes until pale, thick and doubled in volume.
Sift the flour and matcha powder over the mixture and fold in gently, keeping as much air in as possible.
Pour into the prepared tin, tilt to spread evenly into the corners, and bake for 10 minutes until springy to the touch.
Turn out onto a sheet of baking paper dusted with icing sugar, peel off the lining paper, then roll up the sponge tightly from a short end with the paper inside and leave to cool completely.
Whip the double cream with the icing sugar until it holds soft peaks, unroll the cooled sponge, spread the cream evenly over the surface, then re-roll without the paper.
