About Japanese sponge cake
Japanese sponge cake, also known as Kasutera or Castella, is a light, airy dessert originating from Portugal and adapted in Japan during the 16th century. Made primarily from eggs, sugar, flour, and honey, this cake has a fluffy texture and subtly sweet flavor. Its golden-brown outer layer provides a slight chewiness, contrasting beautifully with the soft interior. While Kasutera is fat-free due to the absence of butter or oil in traditional recipes, it is relatively high in sugar, making it a less ideal choice for those monitoring calorie or carbohydrate intake. However, the use of honey offers a natural sweetener option and depth in flavor. Typically enjoyed as a snack or dessert, the cake’s simplicity makes it a versatile addition to Japanese tea ceremonies or casual meals. While delicious, moderation is key for this indulgence if you’re seeking a balanced diet.
