FAQ
The Cakes Are Prepared A Little Differently. If you want your cake a little more on the moist side, however, you may want to make a Genoise instead. A Genoise adds in fat in the form of butter. However, the method of adding the butter is a little more complicated than the standard sponge.
The actual difference is a cake normally consists of 2 layers with icing as a filling. A Gateaux is a sponge cake, which can be a little trickier to make, and is usually in thinner layers and filled with a mousse, or a pastry cream, maybe fruits or nuts.
Wrapped tightly in plastic, genoise sponge can be stored for 3 days at room temperature, for 1 week in the refrigerator, and for 1 month in the freezer. If frozen, transfer the genoise to the refrigerator and thaw overnight.

The closest recipe I bake to castella is the Genoise cake which uses different flour. In my recipe, if the flour is not blended well enough into the egg mixture, a dense rubbery bottom will result.
