↓Frequently asked questions↓ When you bake this for the first time, the result might not be perfect. My first cake was also cracked.(I've been a chef for over 15 years though.) But I'll give you some tips to help you succeed sooner with just a little practice. Q. My cake didn’t rise well. Why? A. The reason for this is that your meringue was too soft or you over mixed the cake batter and meringue. The more you mix the cake batter, the more the meringue bubbles will break and the less your cake will rise up. Q. My cake rises well but shrinks a lot after it cools down. Why? A. The reason for this is that your cake was not baked enough, or that your meringue was over whipped, or your meringue was made of big air bubbles so it’s fragile. To make your meringue stable, make sure your meringue is very cold, and add all of the sugar at first and whip at medium speed. If you use a stand mixer, at medium low would be better. But if you whip by hand, you shouldn’t add all the sugar at once, instead add in three parts. Q. My cake rose too much and the top cracked. Why? A. The reason for this is that your cake batter is too fluffy. When your cake batter is very fluffy, it will rise well but also tend to crack on top. Make your meringue a bit softer for the next time. Q. How to adjust my cake pan to this recipe? A. Multiply the length of your pan × the width(cm) of your pan(cm). (ignore the height) = A Divide A by 225 (my recipe pan size) = B Multiply each ingredient by B = the amount of ingredient you need(grams) *Another way Fill your pan with water and weigh. (grams)= A A ÷ 1125 = B Multiply each ingredient by B = the amount of ingredient you need(grams)

Hi Indy, love the video and the simple ingredients. I really enjoy watching how easy it is. I baked the cake and was easy. The only thing is that mine didn't brown on top but it does taste very good. Could that be because I used a 9 inch square pan? Could I possibly use a loaf pan instead? Thanks in advance.

I've always had issues with my sponge cakes but I tried this recipe and it turned out perfectly. This is the first sponge cake recipe that I've seen use AP flour rather than cake flour (which I don't think we have here) and it still works fine. The only change I made was leaving the cake in the oven longer.

Hi, thanks a lot for your tutorial and tips! My cake still deflates as it cools down, although I try my best with the merengue. Can there be any other issue of deflation apart from underbaking or weak and unstable merengue? Maybe my flour is different, has other parameters of protein and starch, so the cake cannot hold its own weight? I would appreciate your answer very much ❤

Thanks for this. I've made 2 recently that flopped so think i beat whites too fast and too stiff, perhaps not enough drop after cooking either

Hello Assa, thank you for such a wonderful tutorial. I am looking for a cake that I can make for my daughter’s 1st birthday that I can omit the sugar. It will be her first cake and used for mash cake photos. Also, I have a 7” round pan with a removable bottom, can I use it for this castella cake recipe? Thanks.

@INDYASSA

Thank you for watching my videos!:) Baking in round pans is not a problem, but the sugar is added to keep the beaten eggs fluffy, so I guess the cake won't rise well. 🤔

Hi, I attended your cotton cheesecake class on Udemy, and wanted to ask whether we can replace whipping cream with something or completely avoid it? Thanks :)

Hi how did u make the cream? Was it just the normal egg whites?

Can this cake be baked in a fan-forced (convection) oven?

Can I do this cake and do butter frosting on top

Do we have to wait for the milk and butter to come to room temparature before we add into the flour? 4:1 min ?

4:01 when you take it away from the heat... did you let it cool first or put it into the flour immediately while its hot?? im really confused 😅😅

When bake, both up and down heat of the oven Should use ? I made it today. Used only down heat. Up of my cake is sticking

Thanks for recipe. I made it and it turned exactly how you made , but one problem I got after when it baked I saw a thin egg layer on the bottom of the cake (not fluffy as rest of cake, like a jelly ). Could you please tell me maybe I did something wrong?
