Why Japanese?, January 2, 2005 - 04:42 PM
Reviewer: mariko from N.O. LA
I am a Japanese who always loved to cook and bake, but I have never heard of such a thing as Japanese fruit cake. Rice cake is the only traditional cake we have and the rest of cakes are from western countries. The spices in the ingredients are not as common as they are in America, and none of the fruits such as coconut or lemon are not our native fruit. In fact not many stores carry coconut in Japan. Where is this name from? I really wonder why this is called Japanese cake because nothing sound like Japanese in this recipe!!
