Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Separate 4 eggs. Beat the 4 yolks with 1/4 cup sugar until pale and thick, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the 4 egg whites until foamy, then gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture. Sift in the 1/2 cup cake flour and 1 tbsp matcha powder, folding gently until just combined—do not overmix.
Step 5
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake until the top springs back when touched, about 12-15 minutes.
Step 6
While the cake bakes, whip the 1 cup heavy cream with 2 tbsp sugar until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
Step 7
Once the cake is cool, spread the whipped cream over it, sprinkle with the 1/2 cup red beans, and roll it up tightly. Chill for 30 minutes before slicing.
