Now that I am trying... the key word is TRYING to lose some weight, I decided that i would only make desert on Sundays. You know the bug tempting things. Such as this cake. I remember making this bake when we were stationed in Japan. We were just craving for something moist and different from the Japanese deserts. I received this recipe on the bake of the Heresy Cocoa BOX.I hope the picture tells it all.
