This bundt cake seems heavy, but it actually includes 1 cup of water, making it light enough to enjoy two slices! Plus, it's easy to make by just mixing the ingredients.
The origin of this recipe
I found a bundt cake recipe in English. The original called for more than double the sugar! I adjusted it to suit Japanese tastes and made significant changes to the glaze recipe. It's now my own recipe, haha.
It's light enough to enjoy two slices.
