Castella Rusk

Recipe

Ingredients

What you will need

2 slices of sponge cake
Butter or margarine to taste
Sugar or granulated sugar to taste

Preparation

Cut the sponge cake into pieces about 1 cm wide.


Spread butter or margarine on the cut sponge cake. Spread the butter or margarine firmly all the way to the edges.


Sprinkle sugar or granulated sugar over the entire surface and bake in a toaster for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, place on a plate, and voila!

How does it taste?

Bite into it and it's crispy! The inside is fluffy. The crunchy texture of the sugar also adds an accent. The richness of the egg and the soft sweetness of the sugar spread over the baked savory flavor. Too delicious...!


We also tried it with matcha sponge cake, which was also delicious. The bitterness of the matcha and the sweetness of the savory sugar are perfectly balanced.



The key is to take off the heat before eating it because it is still soft when freshly baked to make it crispier and tastier. The thinner you cut the sponge cake, the crispier it will be when baked.
