I tried this cake for the first time at my friend Miwako's house for playgroup. It's a yummy, rich, chocolaty cake and I (of course) asked for the recipe. The cake is not an American style super sweet cake. It has more of a Japanese taste. The desserts we had in Japan were always more about the flavors than about the sweetness.
Toddler Note: Dylan didn't mind at all that this wasn't super sweet....he loved it anyway. He has to have his plain though, no topping for him (he doesn't know what he's missing).
