**3. Sift Flour:**
Sift the flour to remove lumps, then gently fold it into the egg mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the batter.

**4. Add Honey Syrup:**
Slowly fold in the honey syrup until evenly incorporated.

**5. Bake the Cake:**
Pour the batter into a lined rectangular or square cake pan. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release any large air bubbles. Bake at 320°F (160°C) for about 50–60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

**6. Cool and Serve:**
Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Castella is best enjoyed fresh or within a couple of days, paired with tea or coffee.
