> Why the heck would anyone make any sort of cake with a bean paste?! That just sounds wrong. Cakes are sweet, fluffy, moist, and spongelike. Bean paste just sounds... ucky. The concept is lost on me; it doesn't seem remotely dessertesque.

Myself, I love red bean paste steamed buns. I've only seen them at one restaurant (Chinese), but whenever I go there I make sure to get one. The paste is rather sweetish, but I'm not sure if it's usually intended for dessert.
