Castella cake is a popular Japanese sponge cake with a rich history that dates back to the 16th century.
The cake was introduced to Japan by Portuguese traders and missionaries, who first brought it to Nagasaki, a port city in southwestern Japan.
At the time, Nagasaki was the only place where foreigners were allowed to reside, and the Portuguese were among the first Westerners to establish a presence there.
The original version of the cake was known as "Pão de Castela" (meaning "bread from Castile"), and it was made with wheat flour, sugar, and eggs.
Over time, the recipe was adapted to suit Japanese tastes and ingredients, with the addition of local ingredients such as honey, rice flour, mirin, and soy sauce.
The cake became particularly popular during the Edo period (1603-1868), when it was served as a sweet treat with tea in the homes of the samurai and other nobles.
Today, Castella cake is a beloved part of Japanese culinary culture, and it can be found in a variety of other flavors, including hoijcha, chocolate, and honey.
Next time you're in Japan, consider visiting Nagasaki and getting it at a specialty shop, or alternatively in the depa-chika (food floor) of many department stores in major cities.

Mmhhh gonna try it out
I'm looking for some good soup bowls to send to my daughter, any suggestions?
Hey Cathy, check my shop for the soup bowls :) www.alldayieat.com/product-category/matcha-bowls-and-accessories/
May I ask. If I want to do a simple vanilla flavor, can I skip the matcha powder? Or should I add more cake flour to be substituted for matcha powder?
You use matcha in sponge cake, what is mirin?
Hello Cathy, a mirin is a type of rice wine similar to sake but with a lower alcohol content 😁
can i substitute white sugar with brown sugar?
Absolutely! 🍵🍰 You can totally give brown sugar a shot as a substitute. It might add a hint of caramel flavor to your matcha castella cake, which could be a delicious twist. Just be mindful that the color might be a bit darker. Let me know how it turns out! Happy baking!
Could you email me the recipe, it goes by too quick on screen, thanks
