Key Ingredients- Castella cake 250g (about 1.5cm thick)
- Nutella spread 5 tablespoons
- Dark chocolate 100g
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully cut the castella cake into uniform square pieces, approximately 1cm thick. Ensuring consistent sizing will help create a beautiful final product and make the assembly process easier. Think of them as little bite-sized cake squares.
Step 2
Take one piece of the cut castella and generously spread about 1 tablespoon of the rich and creamy Nutella spread over its surface. Then, place another piece of castella on top to form a sandwich. This generous amount of Nutella will create a wonderfully moist and flavorful center.
Step 3
Now, prepare the chocolate coating. Finely chop the dark chocolate or use chocolate chips and place them in a heatproof bowl. Set this bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method) to gently melt the chocolate. Stir continuously with a spatula, ensuring no water gets into the chocolate, until it becomes smooth and glossy.
Step 4
Using a pastry brush, carefully coat the top surface of the assembled castella sandwiches with the melted dark chocolate. Be sure to cover it evenly for a clean finish and to prevent the chocolate from cracking later. Allow the chocolate to set slightly before proceeding. If the chocolate becomes too thick, gently reheat it over the double boiler.
Step 5
Before the chocolate fully hardens, carefully invert the chocolate-coated castella sandwiches onto a wire rack so the chocolate-coated side is facing down. Gently pour some of the remaining melted chocolate over the top. The excess chocolate will naturally drip down, coating the entire snack. Once the chocolate is completely set, your delicious homemade “Oh Yes” style chocolate snacks will be ready to enjoy! Perfect for an afternoon treat.
