Today's challenge was KASTERA.

KASTERA rich but soft golden sponge cake made of egg, sugar, white strong flour.

This japanese cake originated in Portugal.
Portugal is one of the first countries that reached the east Japan.
So for us, every thing they brought, introduced were quite interesting.
(But after this Japan had a special intended isorated period.)

The texture is very tender.
Nice with not only Japanese green tea but Chinese tea, English tea, coffee.

I ate a little today and wait until tomorrow for more tender rich taste!

This is a book I bought yesterday.
I'm taking baking classes since September.

It was really great!
I really enjoy baking bread at home.

I have been interested in creating a leaven by myself and bake my own bread with it.
But it doesn't look very easy to recognize good/bad leaven.

Are there any class that I can learn about this?

This book has more information about leaven and recipe with baker's percentage.

For me it is not easy to read through this book because English is not my first language,
but I will try.
