Ingredients
6large eggs
¾cupplus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½tablespoonmizuame (see Tip)
¼cuphot water
1 ½cupsbread flour
2teaspoonsmatcha powder
Directions
Place eggs and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment; beat on medium-low speed until tripled in size and stable, about 10 minutes.
Combine mizuame and hot water in a small bowl; whisk until well dissolved. Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly add in the mizuame mixture, beating until just incorporated, about 30 seconds.
Combine flour and matcha in a medium bowl. Whisk thoroughly to aerate and break up any clumps. In three batches, add the flour mixture to the mixture in the mixer bowl; beat on low speed, waiting until thoroughly combined before adding more, about 1 minute.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Lift each pan a few inches above the work surface and drop it down to dissipate any bubbles in the batter. Using a chopstick, draw a zigzag shape through the batter to remove any remaining bubbles. Bake until a tester inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean and the top is a deep brown color, 45 to 50 minutes.
Remove the cakes from the pans using the parchment overhang and place on plastic wrap. Wrap tightly to seal in moisture; refrigerate for 8 to 12 hours. Remove and discard the plastic wrap and parchment paper before serving. Slice and serve cool or at room temperature.

Tip
You can find mizuame online atUmamiInsider.com. Some recipes substitute honey for mizuame, but the malt sweetener gives castella cake its distinctive sheen and is the preferred choice.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
