Cheesetella, 928 S Western Ave, Ste 123, Los Angeles (Koreatown), 90006

Cheesetella is a cake stall inside Koreatown Plaza’s International Food Court. There’s an oven in the back where they bake their cakes. They have castella cakes (original, cheese, cream, chocolate), Japanese cheesecakes, and Tokyo rolls. The cakes come with the option of side cream. The creamtella is stuffed with cream (drool). They also have a few drinks. Order at the counter.

Castella cakes are a baked chiffon cake made with flour, whipped egg whites, and sugar.

Plain castella ($11.25): I used to have a thing for Chinese sponge cupcakes. The plain castella reminded me of the Chinese sponge cupcake only better. It’s super fluffy, very soft, moist, and light…almost melts in your mouth. The flavor is eggy and lightly sweet. One rectangular cake is 7.5 inches x 4 inches x 3 inches. The cake still tastes amazing the next day.

The cakes are best consumed fresh out of the oven or within 24 hours. They come in boxes with storage directions. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3 days.

4.5 out of 5 stars
