About Japanese spounge cake

Japanese sponge cake, also known as Kasutera, is a light and airy dessert originating from Japan, inspired by Portuguese Pão de Ló introduced in the 16th century. This delicate cake is traditionally made with simple ingredients: eggs, sugar, flour, and a touch of honey for sweetness and moisture. It has no added fat such as butter or oil, making it lower in calories compared to many other cakes. Rich in protein due to the eggs, Kasutera offers a soft texture and subtle flavor that pairs well with tea or coffee. However, its sugar content can be high, so mindful portion sizes are recommended if you're monitoring your sugar intake. With its fluffy texture and mildly sweet taste, Japanese sponge cake is a wholesome treat enjoyed in moderation and provides a delightful glimpse into Japanese confectionery.
