Castella / Kasutera, Japanese Old Fashioned Sponge Cake for Oyatsu

Unlike the other recipes, I found Kasutera in one of my favourite website, just try and taste, quite different with kasutera recipes in other sites. In JTT site, the Kasutera Recipe using Cake/All Purpose Flour and Cooking Oil, also orange/lemon juice and orange/lemon zest. In other sites, the ingredients for Kasutera are free of Oil/Butter, and always recommend Bread Flour, or at least All Purpose Flour. I think I should do more research for this recipe.

After I read some recipes, I decided to try the Kasutera Recipe from Justhungry.com, by Makiko Itoh. I found it really detail. So I did try (half recipe), and the result come out quite great, really close to the traditional kasutera, according to my husband !! The technique I did was not perfect. I have to practice more!! Sorry Makiko San, my result come out not as good as yours.. :( Also I think, after this, I still have to try each recipe from those other sites. I myself, never try the original castella from Japan.... I hope, someday...

Ingredients for full recipe
8 large (55 grams) eggs
300 grams sugar
4 tablespoon honey
100 cc warm milk => mix with honey
200 grams Bread Flour (double sifted)

How To Make
Prepare the pan (baking sheet around), break eggs in a mixing bowl, beat using waterbath method, add sugar in the process to ribbon stage. Heat oven at 150C. Add Mixture of honey and milk to the egg batter, beat till combine. Add flour 1 tablespoon at a time, mix with spatula, place in the pan. Bake for around 50 minutes. Place in plastic wrap and store in chiller for around 12 hours. Cut to slices and enjoy :)

Picture of Kasutera, first attempt :

I hope, next attempt will be better !!


Oh by the way, about Oyatsu, I read that it's a kind of japanese style tea time at around 3 in the afternoon. :) and I love Kasutera for tea time. The honey give it a very special taste !!

How To Calculate IRR / Internal Rate of Return and the Conditions

This morning suddenly my former boss asked me to write him a brief about IRR and the formula.

Below is the note that i keep when i learn about IRR sometimes ago. I also attached the file i use to compute IRR. You can simply put the amount of initial outlay and potential net income for around 5 years ahead, and get the IRR computed by the spreadsheet. Hope you found this useful.

IRR or Internal Rate of Return is one of a common tool usually used for evaluating investment. In order to compute this, we have to know the amount of the initial outlay, the potential net profit for some years ahead, for example for 5 years ahead, and put the numbers in a spreadsheet like what i did. I simply use the spreadsheet function for IRR and use the result for evaluation. Too bad i cannot attach the file I usually use here as my personal library.
At least, the file is a kind of this :

Initital Outlay		-	(49,765)
Net profit	Year	1	7,464	(42,301)
Net profit	Year	2	7,464	(34,837)
Net profit	Year	3	7,464	(27,373)
Net profit	Year	4	33,000	5,627
Net profit	Year	5	33,000	38,627
		IRR	16.60%

Business Dictionary says :
IRR is the average annual return earned through the life of an investment and is computed in several ways. Depending on the method used, it can either be the effective rate of interest on a deposit or loan, or the discount rate that reduces to zero the net present value of a stream of income inflows and outflows. If the IRR is higher than the desired rate of return on investment, then the project is a desirable one. However, it is a mechanical method (computed usually with a spreadsheet formula) and not a consistent principle.

For this roll bread, I made a pan of bread, prepare some pork luncheon meat and mayonnaise, roll the bread to be roll bread. After rolling, I wrapped the rolled bread with a baking sheet, and put on a pan to make it cool. Around 1 hour later, I cut the bread, and the result is amazing !!

Here is the picture :

I feel really proud of this one !! Too bad I haven't bought any floss beef so I can not put that as part of the filling. Next time I will, and the taste will be great, I am sure !!  :)
