小小分享：
** 如果表层上火太热，快上色，可以在表层的颜色均匀金黄色后，开始用锡纸遮盖 **

**切的時候刀子沾少许水，會比较好切，不然好像咔着、咔着的**

**蛋糕封密一夜后口感和味道更加好**

Japanese Chocolate Castella Cake

Wooden mould (11 x 21 x 8 cm)

Ingredients:
4 AA egg yolks
40g bread flour
40g cake flour
20g coca powder  
10g caster sugar
4g mirin
50g honey + 1/2tbsp warm water (stirred evenly)

4 AAegg white or 180g
65g caster sugar

Method:
1. Line the wooden mould with baking paper, then place it on a baking tray.

2. First, separate the egg yolk and egg white into 2 different containers.

3. Add 10g of caster sugar and mirin to the egg yolks, then mix evenly.

4. Add the egg whites to the caster sugar in a few times, beat until soft peaks form.

5. Mix the egg yolk batter into 1/3 of the egg white meringue evenly.

6. Pour the egg yolk mixture back into the remaining egg white meringue. Mix evenly.

7. Sift all flour and powder. Divide the sifted flour and honey mixture into 3 portions and alternately add them into the batter. Fold the batter evenly.

8. Pour the batter into the lined mould.
9. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C for about an hour until the top of the cake is golden brown.
10. Allow the cake to cool on a rack and tear off the baking paper. Slice off the sides, then cut the cake into slices suitable for serving. 

Tips:
** If the top of the cake looks like it is going to be burned soon, you can cover the cake with a piece of aluminium foil after the color has evened out. **

** Wet the knife before slicing the cake fro smoother slicing. **

** Keep the cake in an airtight container, but don't refrigerate. The cake tastes better the next day. **

蛋糕有着蜂蜜的香甜，也有绿茶的香气，

偶尔也会品到微微的米霖芳香，

搭上一壶绿茶，

不禁让人又想往东洋飘了。
