   Tis was my breakfast...you may know what this is if you are a German or Japanese or grew up in either country.

   Japanese have loved this cake over a century...I'm no longer technically a Japanese but no matter, I love baumkuchen from the depth of my soul?

   But here's something I didn't know.

   It was baked by a German prisoner of war who was put in an internment camp in Japan during WWI.

   All this time I didn't know about this...didn't learn much about WWI to be honest
