Taiwanese Castella Cake is a super soft sponge cake that is wonderfully plush and bouncy. It's lightly sweet and delicious on its own or garnished with whipped cream, fruit, confectioners' sugar, honey, or all of the above. 



I garnished slices of these cakes with whipped cream and sliced fruit, and it was a huge hit.
