"I know that the description is a bit of a misnomer, but that is what it is. This cake has a light taste. It is not too sweet, but it has plenty of sugar. It is not as dense as most pound cakes."

I am a half Japanese/ half Caucasian female who grew up all of her life in Texas. I love to bake and cook but never seem to have enough time to do this lately. I have been inspired by all of the recipes that I have seen on this web-site and have vowed to spend more time doing the thing I love to do (cook).
