Learn how to make the softest castella – this cake is soft and very light airy texture covered with amazing butter cream frosting. If you are looking for super yummy birthday cake, less sweet, fresh whipped cream and homemade bakery feel.

It's also much harder to get the frosting come out with large and unfamiliarity nozzle.

Ingredients:

(A)

• 75g cake flour or 50g plain flour + 25g corn flour sieved
• 60g vegetable oil or mild olive oil for baking (heat to 80C)
• 50g whole or semi skimmed milk
• 5 large egg yolks, cold

• a pinch of sea salt

(B)
• 5 large egg whites, cold
• 1/2 tsp white vinegar / lemon juice
• 70g golden granulated sugar, optional (add sugar a little at a time) 

Use a large baking pan for a hot water bath, steam bake in preheated oven to 150ºC, always use (oven thermometer) lower rack and bake with both top and bottom heat without fan assisted and bake for 65 minutes, After it is baked, let it stand in the oven for 15 minutes, until the oven temperature reached 50ºC/0ºC, which can avoid your cake to collapse. Dropping the cake pan from high to prevent the cake to shrink too much during cooling. Place treats on tray! It is best served chilled.
