Matcha Castella Sponge Cake
Castella, or Kasutera, or Kastera (in Japanese カステラ), is a popular Japanese sponge cake made with egg, sugar, flour and starch syrup. It is a very soft and moist sponge cake. Japanese Kastera is the most fluffy sponge cake in the world and it is so delicious. If you go to Japan, you will be able to taste many flavours of kastera in all Japan. For us, the best kastera is Matcha green tea kastera with honey. Yes! you can cook this kastera at home! We would like to show you how to cook. You can use normal Matcha powder if you do not have Chlorella Matcha, but with Chlorella Matcha you will get a more beautiful green color.
Secret 1. Use honey
Secret 2. Beat the eggs for more than 10 minutes patiently
Secret 3. Do not use baking powder (it will rise only by the force of the egg)
Secret 4. Use Chlorella Matcha from The Matcha House
Secret 5. Bake slowly at low temperature
Secret 6. Wrap completely with plastic wrap
Secret 7. Wait for one night (do not eat right away!)
Good Luck!

I love chiffon cake and azuki beans paste. So I created a matcha flavour chiffon cake which goes well with azuki paste.Whipped cream served with azuki paste is perfect.Make sure to whip merengue until firm peak form and gently fold batter to retain tiny bubbles.When you remove from the mold, run the bamboo skewer or chiffon cake knife around the cake – using an up and down motion – then remove. Turn cake over gently.You can make this chiffon cake without matcha liqueur (just add some more water to it instead; the amounts for both are listed below). Recipe by Chikazo- -
