Hi Jenna, I have never tried to make kasutera. Just looking at it is really intimidating. It would seem to be something that is technically very difficult to make. Super oishii desu yo!

Gosh, the food looks delish! Kasutera cake is so expensive that I spend a lot of time looking at it but never buying it. ^^; I found a couple of recipes online, but they all warn that it is a difficult cake to make so I’m hesitant to try. The kasutera above is so pretty. *_* Oishii so~

I wouldn’t say that it’s really popular - but it is a well loved occasional treat, especially for local Japanese in Hawaii. Here is a link to the one I eat.

Hi everybody! Sorry i haven’t been over to see your blogs recently.

Hi kat,
Yeah, I think I have some kind of karmic thing, wherever I go in the world, I find great restaurants. Sentato is most excellent.

Hi Lori and momo,
I don’t think I have ever have non-Japanese Kasutera/Castella. I thought it was a Japanese word at first. Like tempura, kasutera is another Portuguese word/food.
So castella is popular over where you gals live?

Kasutera/Castella!! ahhh doesnt matter how people spell it hahaha
This is probably one of my favorite breads of all time!! I love how rich each slice is and light/fluffy at the same time! beautiful pictures!! from the window pictures it seems like a really warm and home-y place :D!!

I love Castella cake - especially those brown top and bottom layers!
