Castella cake
Castella cake is a delicious and popular Japanese sponge cake. It has a unique texture that is moist, fluffy, and slightly sweet. Traditionally, Castella cake is made with simple ingredients like eggs, sugar, flour, and sometimes honey. The cake has a distinctive golden-brown crust and a soft, airy interior. It’s perfect for enjoying with a cup of tea or coffee, or as a sweet treat any time of the day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C) and line a rectangular baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, sift the flour to remove any lumps. Set it aside.
- In another large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat them together on medium-high speed for about 8-10 minutes until the mixture becomes pale, thick, and creamy.
- Gradually add the sifted flour to the egg-sugar mixture. Gently fold it in using a spatula until well combined, making sure not to overmix.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the honey, milk, and vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the batter and gently fold it in until fully incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and give it a few taps on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50-60 minutes or until the top turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice the Castella cake into desired portions and enjoy!
