FLOR - Matcha Swiss Roll
11.26.2011
 I was very pleased to find a rolled up piece of cardboard in the little takeaway box that helped my slice of cake stay upright the 30 minutes journey home. Why did I even mention this seemingly redundant piece of information? Oh, that is because for me, the statistics of cakes staying in place (& shape) is really really low. After snapping a few pictures, I dug into the cake very excitedly with high expectations as this is not the first time I am having Flor's creations.  The light Japanese sponge did not disappoint. It was the sort that had very even air holes, creating the perfect texture in a sponge that springs back up even when pressed down. This is what makes the sponge so light and desirable in the mouth.  Well, a quality sponge was what I have expected. What was UNexpected was the discovery of something which I have NEVER EVER encountered in the countless number of cakes I have eaten. This is none other than their sugar coated red beans. Now, this is not your typical sweetened red bean. This very creative idea of coating the red bean with a crispy layer of sugar gives it a very nice texture - crisp on the outside while retaining the original fragrant taste of the red bean on the inside.  However, I thought that the Matcha cream seems to lack a bit of a kick. Instead, it was slightly heavy on the cream.
