Once the cake has rested, it’s ready to be sliced. Use a serrated knife to carefully cut the cake into even slices. Wipe the blade between cuts to ensure clean, neat edges. Enjoy the soft, moist, and perfectly flavored Castella Cake with a cup of tea or as a dessert after a meal.
Storage and Tips
- Store the Castella cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. The cake remains soft and moist for several days.
- For longer storage, wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Castella cake is best enjoyed after resting for 12 hours or longer, as this enhances the flavor and texture.
- If you want to add a unique twist, try substituting the honey with maple syrup or using matcha powder to create a green tea version of Castella.
