(Hanjuku = half cooked or boiled, Castella = Japanese Old style Sponge cake originated from Portuguese)
Traditionally it is very moist and sweet. Famous in Nagasaki Prefecture and known as difficult to bake evenly.
I quickly looked for recipe and tried to bake it!!!
I have not tried actual one but feel like trying!!!
Almost not Hanjuku...
And then, this is result. I adjust oven temperature and timing from the recipe and also reduced sugar.
It became just like normal souffle cake...
Never mind! I will try again, I will look for another recipe and follow what exactly recipe instructed.
