Honey Castella ( カステラ )

 

The 1st time i saw this cake is at Sonia blog (Nasi Lemak Lover).She say she make 4th time still not prefect.So in my mind this cake is very hard to make.That time i never think want to try to make.The 2nd time i see this cake is at Anncoo Journal blog.Then i click on the blog she suggest.I found Biren (Roti n Rice) recipe like abit easy.No oil and SP.Only 4 ingredients needed.My house got this ingredients.Why don't i give it a try.If failed also never mind because not much ingredient wasted.The shape look not very nice but this cake really a very soft.Actually have to trim the side of the cake so it will look nice.But it too wasted.(I am a very stingy person) Hehe.....

Today i bring some to my office and let my colleagues try. ( They'll always my white rat -白老鼠) Hahaha....

All my baking and cooking sure i will bring for them to try.They'll love this Honey Castella.They say the cake is soft and slightly chewy.The honey so fragrant.If you love to have soft texture cake,sure you will love this cake.

I will make again.I am not satisfied with this cake because it look not very nice.Maybe this weekend or next week or maybe have to wait until i free.This weekend i promise my colleagues will make mille crepe.She request long time already.Making crepe need a lot of time.Then next week got 2 new baby will come to my house.More busy.......Little Keith now very naught...He follow what ever we do.
