This handmade Japanese castella cake from Ginnomori has been expertly baked by talented artisans using carefully selected honey, butter, and eggs. Their goal was to create a tasty and moist castella cake that has a home-cooked flavor, to remind their customers of the cakes their mothers used to cook.
Japanese castella cake is a traditional wagashi confectionery inspired by the Bolo de Castela cakes brought to Japan by Portuguese merchants in the 16th century. A rich and sweet sponge cake traditionally made with a few local twists to suit Japanese tastes, making it sweeter and more moist. This particular castella cake differs from the traditional version, as it's round, rather than rectangular.
Enjoy this delectable treat whenever you fancy, with a cup of tea or coffee, or just by itself.
