Green Tea Red Bean Cake Recipe

Question: Does anyone have the recipe for green tea cake roll (with red bean paste and cream as filling)?
I had it at the Hyatt in Guam and loved it!!
Answer: Do you have a favorite plain jelly-roll that you like? Simply add two tablespoons of green tea powder to it, and reduce the vanilla (if any). You can buy canned or vacuum packed bean paste (or even just the beans are nice! -- stir in with the whipped cream). And the whipping cream you can also buy ready-made, or you can make it yourself.
Take one cup of VERY cold cream (you might even put the bowl and the beaters in freezer for a half hour), add one or two tablespoons of sugar. Whip for 5 to 8 minutes, and add a little vanilla. You could even add some green tea powder, but I think the contrast makes the cake lovely.
If you don't have green tea powder, take a good green tea, and whiz it in your blender until it is powdered. You may want to seive it to remove any larger tea leaves.
Good luck and have fun! I live in Japan, and I've had this here, too.
