Kasutera Cake or Castella Cake. Very nice type of a sponge cake. When I live in California and shopped at Mitsuwa market I use to buy them. Gosh I miss that market.
Oh man, just found a formula for it and there are two ingredients that I won't use. Oh well, back to my own honey cakes. But, if I could, I'd make that one to see how it tastes. Or better yet, if I'm making wishing, I'd sap myself to Japan and taste it fresh, made in a wooden box and all. How flippin' cool.
PS: I'm watching a food show about Japan and I can see why you love the food. So clean. Just lovely.
I was wondering if you could make it. If I remember right the egg is used as a leveling (?) agent. But do not quote me on this. Miss Japan at this time. Especially the food !
I don't mind the egg but I won't use the wheat flour or the cane sugar that they've used (or at least in the formula that I found). So that's okay, I can still continue to make my own lemon cakes.
Chores done. I'm off to shop.
PS: I'm not allergic to the strong flour or the cane sugar, I just don't eat those things.
These cake are a very nice sponge type cake. At Christmas time Mitsuwa would have extra tables filled with wonderful gift packages for Christmas and New Years. Wonderful crackers, cookies cakes and candy. Hot chestnut to buy by the bag.... so good.
That is a bit adorable. My youngest niece is getting a hamster for crimble so I shall be looking forward to meeting him/ her soon! Hope all's well with you and thehamish :o)
Well are so behind.... Have to stop falling ! Just decorated the home on Sunday finishing up today. Going to the nursery for two plants (cactus) for gifts for tonight. If we can't read it note in a card, eat it, plant it or burn it (candle ) we do not give it !
Looks like a spoiled little sweetie, as it should be. Great stuff.
ReplyDeletePS: I found a Japanese honey cake I want to make. Cannot recall the name but I wrote it down in the other room.

That's the one. I use honey in cakes now along with maple and sorghum but I'm curious about this castella cake.

Wait, wait, wait. If I'm making wishes, I'd sap you and be BOTH to Japan for a taste around town.
DeleteOkay, back to chores. Nearly done.
