JAPANESE SPONGE CAKE
From japanesefood.about.com. I have not yet tried this recipe, so my comments are largely based on others' comments and on my own experience with Japanese bakery cakes. This is a popular cake in Japan at Christmastime, but it is delicious any time fresh fruit is in season! I like strawberries the best, but peaches and mangos are also nice. Use any fruit or combination of fruits you like. Chop whatever quantity of fresh fruit you'd like for the filling (halved or sliced strawberries are particularly lovely set into the whipped cream), and save some to decorate the top with. Be sure to whisk the eggs very well to make a nice, light sponge. There is no leavening added in the original recipe, so the height and texture are all due to having well-beaten eggs. Some reviewers of this recipe who had trouble getting it to come out right added some baking soda, and some also added a little vanilla. The cake should be eggy, not vanilla-y, but feel free to add the vanilla if you prefer. Both of these will be listed as optional ingredients. The prep time is estimated.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F Grease and line a 7-inch (18 cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk eggs very well in a bowl. Place bowl in a larger bowl partially filled with warm water to make a warm water bath. Continue to whisk eggs. Add sugar a little at a time, whisking all the while.
- When the egg mixture is a light yellow color, sift the flour and add it to the eggs along with the baking soda (if using) and mix in lightly.
- Warm the milk in the microwave; add butter and stir until melted. Add milk mixture and vanilla (if using) to egg mixture and stir in gently.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350° F for 25-35 minutes (cake should be springy in center when gently pressed with fingers).
- Remove cake from pan and cool on wire rack.
- When cake is cool, slice in half horizontally to make 2 layers.
- In a large bowl, whip cream and sugar together until fairly stiff. Divide whipped cream into two portions; set one half aside.
- To remaining half of whipped cream, add chopped fruit as desired. Spread fruited whipped cream over the bottom half of the cake. Top with upper half, and spread whipped cream over top, and sides of cake if desired (or leave them uncovered if preferred). Garnish top with additional fresh fruit and serve.
KASUTERA - JAPANESE SPONGE CAKE
Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 C). Use parchment to line the bottom of a 10-inch tube pan, preferably with a removable bottom or 2 (8 x 4-inch) loaf pans. Grease the parchment. In a large bowl, whisk 1 cup sugar, honey, vanilla, lemon extract (or green tea powder), and salt into egg yolks. Place bowl in a large pan of hot water. With an electric mixer, beat about 5 minutes on medium-high speed until pale yellow and doubled in volume. Gently fold in sifted flour.
- 2. Wash beaters. In a large bowl, beat egg whites in electric mixer on a low speed 1 minute, increasing speed to medium-high. When foamy, sprinkle in 1 tablespoon sugar and cream of tartar. Beat until stiff but not dry. With a spatula, fold the egg whites in thirds. Pour batter into pan. Tap gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
- 3. Bake on middle rack of oven 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. When done, cake sides will pull away from pan slightly; top will be flat and feel spongy when pressed with finger. Cool 20 minutes. Run a small knife between edge of cake and pan. Remove from pan carefully. Pull off parchment and cool completely. Serve or store airtight.

- Gather all the ingredients. Preheat oven to 320ºF (160ºC). For a convection oven, reduce cooking temperature by 25ºF (15ºC).
- Cut parchment paper to fit the baking pans (See the video for this process). You will need two loaf pans (8.50 x 4.50 x 2.75 inch / 22 x 11 x 7 cm). If you use a plan smaller, add the excess batter in smaller pans and bake for a shorter time.
- Sift the bread flour with the sifter or a fine-meshed strainer twice. Holding the handle with one hand and tapping the strainer gently with the other, the flour will gradually sift through the strainer.

- Preheat oven to 340°F (170°C). Lightly butter a 8x8-inch cake pan and line it with enough parchment paper so some hangs over the sides. The butter will help keep the parchment paper in place. Sprinkle some sugar in the bottom of the pan (on top of the parchment paper).
- Bring a large pan (big enough to cover the bottom of your large mixing bowl) of water to a boil and then turn off the heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the milk and 4 tablespoons of honey. In a separate bowl, add the flour and matcha powder and sift them twice using a fine mesh sieve or sifter.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Place the bowl over the pan of hot water that you boiled. Add the sugar and whisk, holding the bowl on top of the pan, until the mixture warms to a lukewarm temperature. Remove the bowl from the pan and continue whisking. If the mixture cools, place it over the pan of hot water to warm it back to lukewarm. Continue whisking until the mixture holds soft peaks, about 15 minutes if you are using an electric whisk. It will take much longer if you are whisking by hand. See the notes in this post for more details about this step.
