Sakura Pound Cakes

Not to be outdone by its more centrally located competitors, Hotel East21 in Koto-ku is joining the sakura sweets fray with these cherry blossom-coloured pound cakes, flavoured with raspberry liqueur, pickled sakura leaves and sakuramochi, plus ample amounts of whipped cream. This one also looks like it's easy to bring to and eat at a hanami party without making a huge mess.
