Piece of cake

Kasutera: Japanese sponge cake that's as light and airy as these look. Less rich in butter and more buoyant in texture than its Western counterpart, kasutera sometimes comes flavored with matcha green tea or coffee (which is often called mocha although there isn't any cocoa powder in the mix). These babies at Minamoto Kitchoan are sold in elongated bricks in lovely gift boxes for...well...you can spy the gulp-inducing prices for yourself.
