Jiggle your way through these popular sponge cakes, now available in fancy flavours like earl grey and ondeh ondeh
The latest food craze to hit our shores is the Castella Cake, a popular Japanese sponge cake of Portugal origins, made from a simple selection of ingredients including sugar, flour and eggs.
Derived from the Portuguese name Pão de Castela, meaning "bread from Castile", these cakes are loved for their fluffy and light-as-air texture.
Here are four to try:

When Le Castella opened its first outlet in Singapore this May, it made waves for its popular cakes (from $9.90).
Drawing four-hour long queues, the Taiwanese brand’s cakes are famously jiggly, thick and fluffy — each measuring 23 cm x 13 cm exactly.
As of now, only two flavours, Original and Cheese, are available.
Word has it that new flavours are in the pipeline, including Chocolate and a locally-inspired flavour in time for National Day.
