↓Frequently asked questions↓ When you bake this for the first time, the result might not be perfect. My first cake was also cracked.(I've been a chef for over 15 years though.) But I'll give you some tips to help you succeed sooner with just a little practice. Q. My cake didn’t rise well. Why? A. The reason for this is that your meringue was too soft or you over mixed the cake batter and meringue. The more you mix the cake batter, the more the meringue bubbles will break and the less your cake will rise up. Q. My cake rises well but shrinks a lot after it cools down. Why? A. The reason for this is that your cake was not baked enough, or that your meringue was over whipped, or your meringue was made of big air bubbles so it’s fragile. To make your meringue stable, make sure your meringue is very cold, and add all of the sugar at first and whip at medium speed. If you use a stand mixer, at medium low would be better. But if you whip by hand, you shouldn’t add all the sugar at once, instead add in three parts. Q. My cake rose too much and the top cracked. Why? A. The reason for this is that your cake batter is too fluffy. When your cake batter is very fluffy, it will rise well but also tend to crack on top. Make your meringue a bit softer for the next time. Q. How to adjust my cake pan to this recipe? A. Multiply the length of your pan × the width(cm) of your pan(cm). (ignore the height) = A Divide A by 225 (my recipe pan size) = B Multiply each ingredient by B = the amount of ingredient you need(grams) *Another way Fill your pan with water and weigh. (grams)= A A ÷ 1125 = B Multiply each ingredient by B = the amount of ingredient you need(grams)

Thanks for the recipe ❤️

Looks yummy. I will try this cake.

I've always had issues with my sponge cakes but I tried this recipe and it turned out perfectly. This is the first sponge cake recipe that I've seen use AP flour rather than cake flour (which I don't think we have here) and it still works fine. The only change I made was leaving the cake in the oven longer.

شكرا جزيلا لك ، لقد قمت بعمل هذا الكيك حسب خطواتك ونجحت معي بالفعل

I preferred the video with narration. It look so delicious going to try it . Wish me luck 😀

You make baking this cake look so easy. I am thinking I will try to make this cake for my grandsons birthday because he doesn't like American birthday cakes, he says they are too sweet and they don't have much flavour that all you taste is sugar. Hahahaha Thank you for your videos. I enjoy watching you bake different desserts. Sayonara...

Tried your recipe today & it turned out sooo moist! No shrinkage but the top cracked. Will try to whip the egg white less stiff. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

Thank you so much 👍😋👌🍃🌸🍃

Thank you for yr recipe, just bake it today and it turn out well and taste good too. Can I hv the 17cm square pan recipe please? Tks

Will try matcha soon , thanks much!

Will try this. Thanks. From Kenya

Hi Indy, love the video and the simple ingredients. I really enjoy watching how easy it is. I baked the cake and was easy. The only thing is that mine didn't brown on top but it does taste very good. Could that be because I used a 9 inch square pan? Could I possibly use a loaf pan instead? Thanks in advance.

Thank you 🙏🏻

Your recipe is awesome love from india

Is it possible to add some topping like a glaze or some cream? Any recommendations?

Thanks for this. I've made 2 recently that flopped so think i beat whites too fast and too stiff, perhaps not enough drop after cooking either

I’d like to try Macha as I’ve never used it!

Good work

Nice

Hi, I attended your cotton cheesecake class on Udemy, and wanted to ask whether we can replace whipping cream with something or completely avoid it? Thanks :)

WOW!!!!-

Thanks for your video, it was very helpful. ^v^💕 But i have a question, how can we know if it is fulled cooked? Can we use the the method of pricking the cake with a wooden toothpick?

Hi how did u make the cream? Was it just the normal egg whites?

Hello Assa, thank you for such a wonderful tutorial. I am looking for a cake that I can make for my daughter’s 1st birthday that I can omit the sugar. It will be her first cake and used for mash cake photos. Also, I have a 7” round pan with a removable bottom, can I use it for this castella cake recipe? Thanks.

Hi, thanks a lot for your tutorial and tips! My cake still deflates as it cools down, although I try my best with the merengue. Can there be any other issue of deflation apart from underbaking or weak and unstable merengue? Maybe my flour is different, has other parameters of protein and starch, so the cake cannot hold its own weight? I would appreciate your answer very much ❤

good recipe

I’m definitely trying this. It looks just lovely. My only issue is that as a pastry chef I have always been told that eggs and egg whites whip up to a much greater volume when at room temperature ? This might be different in Taiwanese pastries .

Do we have to wait for the milk and butter to come to room temparature before we add into the flour? 4:1 min ?

Can this cake be baked in a fan-forced (convection) oven?

It's the best cake still now existed in popular from ancient food products in Taiwan, I think.

Was the butter and milk mixer hot or at room temp when added to the batter?

Hi! Thank you for sharing this recipe. May I ask what size was the baking tin that you use?

Hi. It's beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍😍

Hi! What size of cake pan did you use dimension wise? Thank you! I would like to copy the recipe exactly but am unsure in inches what size you used. Thank you!

Nice🥰🥰

Can I do this cake and do butter frosting on top

Do we place it on the lowest rack in oven?

Hi Indy thanks so much for the recipe and guide. I tried it, the taste and texture is nice. But the cake doesn’t have brown in the top. And it becoming very moist on top and little bit wet after overnight. Can you explain to correct it. Thank you Chef. 🥰

I made this and it turned out amazing!! Although I think my eggs were to big because it tasted a little eggy. You are so precise on everything which appreciate. What weight should the correct size eggs be on the 4 egg recipe? Thanks.

Eu consegui fazer essa receita 😃 ficou uma delícia 😋😋😋

After baking, do you immediately take the cake out of the oven or leave it in the oven until cooled down?

Hi, what size is your cake pan?😊 Thank you

Bake at 150 temperature up and down or just down?

Super 💞💞💞💞

Wow it's so delicious Food !!@

4:01 when you take it away from the heat... did you let it cool first or put it into the flour immediately while its hot?? im really confused 😅😅

When bake, both up and down heat of the oven Should use ? I made it today. Used only down heat. Up of my cake is sticking

Hello, I have a question. How much protein should my flour contain for this cake?

❤❤❤good

Can I use normal milk instead of oat milk ?? And can I also add cocoa powder instead of vanilla extract ?? Will my cake would still taste delicious and taste chocolaty ??
