A discussion of recent search trends
Search trends around the vernal equinox on March 21, 2026, show very active interest. The enthusiasm for sporting events such as “Japan vs. Australia” and “High School Baseball Senbatsu” is evidence that people are looking outward. On the other hand, the traffic and weather reports such as “snow storm warnings” and “Shinmeishin accident” have increased the need for people to stay safe at home on the weekends. The current trend is to enjoy watching stadium games at home with hot drinks and homemade sweets while feeling the excitement of Koshien on TV. Now that spring weather and chilly temperatures are coexisting, demand for comforting sweet treats is rising sharply.

way of making
Process 1: Spring Preparation] First, preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Line the mold with a cookie sheet with no gaps between the sheets. Carefully dissolve the cherry powder in 1 tablespoon of warm milk so that there are no lumps.
[Process 2: Magic Whisking] Crack the eggs into a large bowl and mix on high speed with a hand mixer for 1 minute. Add the sugar in three additions and mix for another 5 to 6 minutes. Aerate the mixture until it becomes so chunky and white that it leaves a ribbon-like mark when lifted.
Process 3: Essence of Fragrance] Add the honey and the prepared cherry milk. From here, switch to a rubber spatula and mix gently but quickly as if scooping up the mixture from the bottom.
Process 4: Fusion of Flour] Sift in the strong flour. To avoid crushing the bubbles, mix with your left hand while turning the bowl with your right hand, cutting the rubber spatula with your right hand as if drawing the character ‘の’. The trick is to gently wrap it around the bowl about 30 times until the whole mixture is even.
Bake in a 170°C oven for 35 minutes. Immediately after baking, remove the dough from the molds, seal them with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out, and allow them to cool. This will keep the moistness until the next day!
This is the secret to the delicious taste! Key Points
The greatest feature of this product is that it is inflated only by the power of the egg. If you do not whip the eggs sufficiently, they will not be elastic. On the other hand, if you mix too much, the bubbles will disappear. By being conscious of the action of “mixing as if cutting”, a professional-like fine texture is created.
Closing words: we’ve weathered the spring storms and the cherry blossoms are just around the corner. Please enjoy a relaxing time at home watching the game or reading a book with this sponge cake. The next day it will be more moist and have a different taste.
