To make this Matcha Green Tea Bûche de Noël, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cake:

- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup matcha green tea powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt

For the filling:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp matcha green tea powder

For the decoration:

- Powdered sugar
- Matcha green tea powder
- Fresh berries
- Chocolate shavings
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake is lightly golden and springs back when touched. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Add the matcha powder and mix until well combined. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Once the cake has cooled, carefully remove it from the baking sheet and place it onto a clean surface. Spread the matcha filling evenly over the cake, leaving a small border around the edges. Starting at one end, carefully roll the cake up into a log shape, using the parchment paper to help you. Place the log onto a serving platter and dust with powdered sugar and matcha powder. Decorate with fresh berries and chocolate shavings, if desired.
This Matcha Green Tea Bûche de Noël is a perfect combination of sweet and earthy flavors. The matcha filling is creamy and rich, while the cake itself is light and fluffy. The appearance of this dessert is sure to impress your guests, making it a great choice for any holiday gathering.
