Nigerian cake is simple and super-rich. Our cakes aren’t light, but a bit dense and moist, and they aren’t too sweet but are delicious. Just the way we like our cakes: well-balanced.

No chocolates, no whipped cream but Nigerians love it and they are always searching for that unadulterated Nigerian Cake recipe for that cake that melts in the mouth.
