Delicate. Moist. Gently sweet. These Japanese Castella Cupcakes are the kind of dessert that whisper elegance rather than shout. Originating from the beloved Castella sponge cake—a cultural treasure in Japan adapted from Portuguese Pão de Ló—these mini versions are made for modern-day indulgence.
They’re soft like clouds, subtly flavored with honey, and irresistibly golden. Ideal for teatime, dessert tables, or simply impressing guests with something unique yet accessible.
