This Japanese-inspired Castella sponge cake is wonderfully soft, airy, and delicate, with a lightly sweet honey flavor. Its beautiful golden top and cloud-like texture make it perfect with a cup of tea or coffee.
The recipe uses simple ingredients, but the key to getting that signature fluffy texture is gently folding the batter and avoiding overmixing.
