Castella Cake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300° and grease a 9”-x-5” loaf pan with cooking spray. Line the bottom and sides of pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, heat milk and honey in microwave for 15 seconds. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

In the bowl of a stand mixer set with whisk attachment, beat eggs on medium high speed. Slowly sprinkle in sugar, about one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is pale and airy, about 10 minutes. The batter should form ribbons that hold shape then slowly disappear when drizzled over itself.

Step 4

Lower speed to medium low and add milk mixture, flour, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Gently scrape batter into prepared pan and bake for about 55 minutes, until the top is quite dark brown. Let cool 10 minutes. Use parchment sling to lift cake out of pan.
