Dinner was light tonight. Peaches and castella for dinner. Peaches were leftover and so is my castella. This evening, finished my leftovers.
Had a huge brunch of fried rice. Add slices of potatoes and Spam, peas, carrots, round onions and fresh basil mushrooms. Top it off with scrambled eggs slices & green onions, scrumptious! So a light dinner was enough for me this evening.

@marlina @Gillygirl Castella is a Japanese cake, a sort of very soft sponge cake.

Castella is honey sweet taste light cake, with a buttery flavor, but lighter than pound cake.

Yes. It originally came from Portuguese merchants from 16th century.
"The name is derived from Portuguese Bolo de Castela, meaning "cake from Castile", from wikipedia.
