Chocolate (Almost) Castella
Matcha castella was done, now it’s chocolate castella’s turn. This time the recipe is different too, I honestly don’t know which one resemble the original castella recipe. This recipe doesn’t use vegetable oil so it’s not quite as dense as the matcha castella. Quite spongy and not too bad actually. But from the reviews I’ve read, castella is supposed to be quite dense, kind of like pound cake but not that heavy. This reminded me a lot of Asian style sponge cake which is sometime made into a roll cake. Maybe this is not the true castella-style cake, but luckily my family accepted this cake just fine 
The recipe could be found here.
Seriously, I don’t know what a Castella is! At first look, I thought it is a chocolate bread! I love the crust!
really? you need to go on a mission and find it in Spore girl

iya mirip lah chiffon cuma karena gak pake minyak jadi bener spt sponge cake. elo liat narasumber itu apa sih? mungkin itu yg resepnya pake minyak, karena kalo pake, hasilnya jadi lebih padat ya. gue mau sih chat, tapi belum tau kapan nih, mungkin wiken ini kalo gak sibuk? hari sabtu malem biasanya gue suka lama di komputer kalo elo mau cari gue, entar gue buka YM gue deh…
