Sponge roll cake with mocha cream is a sponge cake that has been stacked with cream and then rolled up to provide a lovely and fluffy delicacy with an even distribution of cake and cream in each piece. The delicate dough of this mocha cake is combined with whisked coffee and chocolate cream. Mocha roll cakes, a popular dessert in Japanese cafés, take the familiar taste of a swiss roll and elevate it to a new level.
In Japan, the art of confectionery is deeply intertwined with the culture of the tea ceremony. As part of the tea ceremony dating back to around the 12th century, it was customary to serve some sweet substance, typically made from grape ivy at a time, to balance matcha tea’s bitterness. However, once Portuguese traders helped popularize sugar, the Japanese quickly integrated it into their cuisine, giving the world sugar and egg-laden delicacies like Castella. During the Edo period (1603-1867), Japan witnessed tremendous commercialization of tea time sweets, with specialty boutiques opening in significant towns. While developing a sophisticated selection of sweets and snacks on its own, Japanese culture gradually became increasingly exposed to western imports, providing the world with memorable fusions of the two, such as the best-selling Matcha Kit-Kat. However, unlike their European counterparts, Japanese sweets are distinguished by a lower fat content and a more moderate, subtle sweetness.
