Spread the mixture evenly on the baking paper and bake for 10–15 minutes. Take a dishtowel and spread it on a kneading board and sprinkle it with sugar. When the sponge is done baking, take it out of the oven and turn it out on top of the sugared dish towel while it’s still warm. Peel off the baking paper and roll the sponge along with the towel into a roll.
For the cream: Whisk the whipped cream. Put the matcha into a small cup of water, stir, and mix it together with mascarpone. Add this mixture to the whipped cream and sprinkle with almond flakes. Add whipped cream stabilizer. When the sponge cools down, unroll it, remove the dish towel, fill the sponge with the cream, and roll back again.
