Sadly, the gaminess of the bear ruined the whole dish because it overwhelmed everything else 😅. But Babish got fully into character and actually went out into the woods, even putting on a western accent, lol. Really fun episode (please don't ask me to find it, it was years ago).

  • FYI. Castella's original recipe come from the Portuguese traders when they first visited Japan in the 16th century. In Portugal, the cake is called "Pão de Ló". Its a very common cake here. Can be made in a few different ways, but by and large its a rather simple and unimpressive sponge cake. Its also, as far as i can tell, not originally from Portugal, as the same base recipe or some slight variations could be found throughout Europe.
