In Japan, the Christmas cake is served for this special occasion. This is a kind of fruitcake that is characterized as light or dark, crmbly-moist to sticky wet and it can be stuffed with icing, glazing and dusting.

The cake is appropriate for those who do not like very rich and moist cakes. The Japanese people often eat the cake during Christmas Eve. Theirs is a sponge cake which is frosted with a whipped cream and is often stuffed with strawberries and Christmas chocolates or other fruits.

The cake is traditionally added with civet or ambergris musk flavoring. Today, the rosewater and orange flower water is what most Japanese add to their Christmas cake. This kind of cake can last for many months and it is the liquor ingredient which gives it a long lasting flavor.
