Postup

Krok za krokom

1
Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F). Line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, making sure the paper extends above the sides to create a collar.
Približne 5 min
2
In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks, granulated sugar, honey, and milk. Whisk until well combined and slightly pale.
Približne 3 min
3
In a separate clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Približne 5 min
Poznámka kuchára: Ensure your bowl and whisk are completely free of any grease to achieve stiff peaks.
4
Gently fold about one-third of the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture to lighten it.
Približne 1 min
5
Slowly add the sifted all-purpose flour and bread flour to the egg yolk mixture, folding until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Približne 2 min
Poznámka kuchára: Overmixing will develop the gluten and result in a tough cake.
6
Fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being gentle to maintain as much air as possible in the batter.
Približne 3 min
Poznámka kuchára: Use a spatula and a cutting and folding motion to incorporate the whites without deflating them.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Gently tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any large air bubbles.
Približne 1 min
8
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Približne 1 h
Poznámka kuchára: The top of the cake should be golden brown and spring back when lightly touched.
9
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and immediately invert it onto a wire rack. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
Približne 1 min
Poznámka kuchára: Inverting the cake helps prevent it from sinking and keeps it moist.
10
Cover the warm cake loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let it cool completely at room temperature.
Približne 2 h
Poznámka kuchára: This step is crucial for developing the characteristic moist texture of Castella.
11
Once cooled, slice the cake into desired pieces and serve.
