Castella カステラ

I really love Japanese Castella Cake.
Has been working really really hard to get a nice and moist castella.
Tried many recipes with SP and with mixture of high protein flour and low protein flour.
The result always pleased me.
This time i would like to try out this spongy n bouncy cake without adding SP and just adding in bread flour.
I used low speed to beat my eggs this time and believe it will came out with fine texture.
But it took me almost 25 - 30 minutes to get the thick and pale yellow texture.
This time my castella turns out good but not as moist as per previous one.
It is bouncy (in the middle of cake and bread).
Not disappointed me at all.
Thanks for the recipe sharing by Ms Maki, Just Hungry.
Just few simple ingredients but turns out a lovely and healthy dessert.

Ingredients:

  • 220g eggs 
  • 150g sugar
  • 100g bread flour 
  • 50g milk
  • 2tbsp honey
Method of doing please refers to Just Hungry : here.
Do take a look at her amazing, wonderful blog for the Castella cake.

    1. 原食谱有扫上蜜糖,感觉会粘粘的,所以没有做这步骤。可能扫上蜜糖会更好看也说不定。

    1. Ann, 我也是摸来摸去才摸出来的。老实说如果不是常吃我还是比较喜欢sp版本的。嘻嘻。。
      我今天一直在想怎样才能做出和sp版相近的组织和口感。后来想马上再试一下;可惜我家没有鸡蛋了 。只好作罢。

  8. 哇!很佩服你们啊!这蛋糕我一直都不敢动手!早几年败了一本“日本主妇:东洋点心DIY”从材料到打发蛋样样都要标准!蛋打发过满或不满一杯都做不成的。
