Hello Kitty Cake

I got a Bokksu that has Hello Kitty version of the box.

They came with all sorts of Hello Kitty snacks and of course other limited edition goodies.

In it is the Baumkuchen - this is a Germany style split cake.  It's also call a tree cake because it has little rings like a tree does.

The Japanese love the Baumkuchen because it represents longevity and prosperity.  This one has nothing to do with Hello Kitty, just the packaging.  But it is a good chocolate cake, I won't lie.  How you make these is that. you basically have a pin (like a rolling pin) and you make layer and layer of cake (like pancake).  You basically continuously drape & wrap the pancakes around the pin, and build the layers.  When you cut them sideways, is where you get the tree rings.

If you don't want to try making it, definitely try eating it!
