One of my favorite things about the babish channel is that they mess up, they tell you they messed up, and how they messed up and how they can fix it. Which helps not only them but everyone grow and become better for the mistakes.

this being the japanese style there's also the much more difficult Taiwanese style which Regusea famously made a video on or if you wanna track it down original Portuguese recipes which through japan is the mother style of both Japanese Castella and Taiwanese Castella

Quick tip for separating eggs, separate them over a different bowl from where your holding the yolks and whites. That way if one yolk breaks during separation it doesn’t ruin all the whites.

For nearly two ENTIRE decades I had been searching to find out what that cake was with no luck. I had gotten one as a lil kid and it was the most glorious thing I had ever tasted, but could only compare it to pokemon's gateau. Knowing what it's actually called means I finally can get my hands on another one. Genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. This knowledge means a lot to me

@wtf1992lynx 9 месяцев назад

Fun fact, the portuguese brought Castella cake to Japan, we call it Pão de Ló here. Which is delicious! I have no doubt the Japanese perfected it even more to ludicrous levels of deliciouness.

I make Cooking Tree's castella cake recipes (I think it's more Taiwanese style) frequently and the crumb is a lot tighter and it has an ethereal sound of peeling when you tear the cake apart. It's wild! So cool how this cake has such a strong yellow hue from all the egg yolks!

I used to watch Alvin on tasty, make it big, then he started his own channel. But about a year or two ago, i have lost him. He didn't upload any videos on his channel. And I also got so busy in my life that i completely forgot about it. Today out of nowhere, i missed his cooking and start searching for him. This led me her, on binging with babish. And Watching Alvin cooking here is felt like i have found a lost friend. Just a geniune happiness from my heart. Now I have alot of videos to watch. From now on binging watching you Alvin.

@LENZ5369 9 месяцев назад

Not sure what all of this is. Castella is a Japanese version of a normal sponge cake, afaik the major difference is that historically Japan didn't have cane sugar -so they used a sweetener made from rice in the cake. Also Demon Slayer is historically set, so the show's Castella should be even closer to the original.

@jengle1970 9 месяцев назад

This looks wonderful. Do you have to have those wooden molds? They seem like something expensive that would be a one use kinda thing and I'd also not want to make that volume of cake at one time. Can the recipe be adjusted for smaller directly, like halving it, or will that mix up ratios?

@racheldolfi6533 9 месяцев назад

You definitely need the molds if you want that texture! There are a few recipes out there that don’t use them, but the crumb comes out much different. Definitely a cake to probably buy over making! The wooden molds we used took 6 weeks to deliver to my house from Japan.

@jengle1970 9 месяцев назад

Holy cow! Yeah, i won't be ordering them. They look just like wooden canvas frames though, i wonder if you could just buy the frame sticks, nail them together yourself, and make your own molds? I'll have to look online and compare the wood types, since canvas frames are not finished or sealed with anything usually. Otherwise, I may make the batter and use it to make cupcakes or in a regular loaf pan. But buying it seems like the way to go. I have a couple Japanese grocery stores here in town, may need to just run by there too

@adbreon 9 месяцев назад

Most Japanese home recipes for Castella do not use the frames. Instead it’s often baked in a cardboard mold or a pan with a cardboard insulation layer on the outside- just wrap the cardboard in foil.

Very possible the Japanese were inspired by it, because the Portuguese were the first Europeans to visit Japan and they might have shared some of their delights, before the Japanese put their own local touch on it.
