Green tea Chiffon roll with easy buttercream

When my sister came to visit me, she made a request "I want to eat cake with a lot of butter cream", yes, this is what she wanted and you may think it's easy, haha.

A lot of buttercream can be delicious but it can be too rich, so I had to choose the right flavour. I make coffee roll cake often, I didn't want to make it now. Finally, the right answer was there when I opened the fridge "Matcha", I have a load of it in the freezer (keep it in the freezer will preserve the vibrant green colour, ^^). Actually I think I use it less often than I should.
As my green tea powder is bitter (and very green), the amount that I use is enough but you can adjust it to suit the one that you have, for the cake if you use more green tea powder, reduce the flour (ex. if you use 15g of green tea you have to use only 65g of flour), but for the buttercream no need to adjust anything.
I'm really happy that I can show you video, haha, because when removing the cake from the oven it's not easy to write what you have to do (a process of cover , remove, reverse and roll). So, if you don't understand what I write (I try my best ^^"), see the video.
For the buttercream, this is one of the easiest that you can make, and it's very delicious, you can use it in other recipe too (for the vanilla flavour, just skip the green tea and add all the whipping cream into the bowl without warming some of it).
My sister really enjoyed it, and I hope you will love it too.
