Castella Cheese Cake

Cultural Context

Originating from the Portuguese brought to Japan in the 16th century, Castella has evolved into a beloved Japanese confection, often enjoyed with tea. The cheese cake variant combines the light, fluffy texture of traditional Castella with the rich creaminess of cheese, making it a delightful treat for special occasions. Today, variations abound, with many bakeries offering unique twists on this classic.

6 servings
Servings4
2 large eggs (about 63g each with shell)
40g sugar
25g salad oil
25g milk
35g cake flour
35g cream cheese
10g rum (or lemon juice)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta cheese

💰Cheaper: neufchâtel cheese

Ricotta is lower in fat and cost-effective

1

Separate the eggs into yolks and whites, and chill the egg whites in the refrigerator.

2

Add warmed milk (20 seconds in a 600w microwave) and salad oil to softened cream cheese, and mix well until emulsified.

3

Add the egg yolks, rum, and cake flour to the mixture from step 2, mixing well after each addition.

4

Add sugar to the chilled egg whites and whip at high speed with a hand mixer. Once stiff peaks form, lower the speed and mix for 2 minutes to refine the meringue.

5

Add a scoop of meringue to the mixture from step 3 and mix to combine.

6

Add the rest of the meringue to the mixture from step 5 and mix until there are no lumps of meringue.

7

Finally, mix with a rubber spatula until the batter is at a consistency where it slowly disappears when drizzled.

8

Pour the batter into a mold lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 150°C for 34 minutes using a water bath. (To avoid uneven baking, swap the position of the mold after 15 minutes.)

9

Check for doneness by inserting a skewer; if it comes out clean without wet batter, it's done!
