But if you were to ask a Japanese person the only answer you would likely get is "Christmas cake", which is basically sponge cake. Many Japanese think the western world eats cake on Christmas, though for the most part that isn't true.
'Christmas' cake in Japan always makes me sad. I'm sorry, it's not really Christmas cake if it's sponge underneath the icing. That's just birthday cake suffering an identity crisis.

And not a mince pie anywhere~
