Suffering from a crazy castella craving.

None of the stores around here sell it.

Would homemade castella taste anywhere close to the bought stuff? All the recipes I'm seeing look very "normal sponge cake-y"

It's just honey sponge cake with a glaze, right?
Maybe you should just try one of those recipes and see how it compares.

That brown thing on top is more like a lightly burned crust.

Well, that's likely a product of the glaze.

I'm pretty sure proper castella is not glazed.

Also, it's a rather difficult cake to make.

No, it's definitely not a glaze. Doesn't even taste like one.

although the Portuguese were the ones who brought the techniques over there, it was the Japanese in nagasaki who invented the goddamn castella cakes.

I remember seeing an endless row of shops and SHOPS in nagasaki with delicious, tender castella.

It was a dream come true.

Tastes like very sweet, very eggy, very light and fluffy pound cake. So, no.

Somehow, I've never heard of this confection. It proably goes good with tea since it's pictured with it. I will have to try to make this some time.

The more food there is around, the happier they get, even if they can't possibly eat it all in one sitting.

Nobody knows. It is said that inside the body of every American is a hungry Somalian trying to get out.

Hi. I'm the guy whose dreams came true from the endless rows of shops.

You just had to be there.

That is all.
