A Sweet Slice of History
14 Nov 2025
Castella cake, known for its delicate sweetness and unique texture, has a rich and fascinating origin. This beloved dessert was introduced to Japan in the 16th century by Portuguese missionaries. In exchange for permission to spread their ideology, they offered the recipe for what they called Pão de Castela “bread of Castile.” Over time, the Japanese embraced and refined the recipe, turning it into a cultural staple often sold in long loaf boxes.
What Makes Castella So Special?
Castella isn’t just another sponge cake. It’s celebrated for its:
Fineness – a perfectly aerated crumb that feels light and refined.
Moistness – a soft, tender bite that stays fresh longer.
Melting Texture – a melt-in-the-mouth experience that’s both comforting and luxurious.
This combination creates a sensorial experience that’s both nostalgic and novel, making castella a favorite across generations.
