As a chef who’s slightly obsessed with texture, I have to say this fluffy Castella sponge cake is the definition of soft perfection. Each slice has that signature bounce, an ultra smooth crumb, and a light sweetness that melts on the tongue. I make this when I want a cake that feels elegant yet humble, with no need for frosting or fillings just pure, pillowy satisfaction.
Why You’ll Fall in Love With This Castella Sponge
Originating from Japan and inspired by European sponge cakes, Castella (or kasutera) has a uniquely moist, fluffy texture that makes it stand apart from other sponges. The secret? It’s all in the meringue, water bath baking, and gentle folding and when done right, the result is unbeatable.
