I sometimes crave ‘Wagashi’, Japanese sweets, but it is almost impossible to find where I live. When I miss ‘Wagashi’, I cook ‘Tsubu-an’ (Sweet Azuki Paste), which is a very popular ingredient for Japanese sweets. I want to share a super quick and easy cake you can make using ‘Taubu-an’ (Sweet Azuki Paste). It satisfies my craving and it takes only a few minutes to make.
