Coconut cake, soft in the crumb and fragrant with coconut, the flavour that turns up in West African kitchens from coconut rice to coconut candy.
It is sweet in a mellow, milky way rather than a sugary one, and the coconut gives each slice a little texture instead of a completely smooth bite. Familiar to anyone who grew up with it, and an easy introduction for anyone who did not.
Priced at 4,800 RWF. Serve it plain with tea, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Order online from Jollof Bistro in Remera for delivery anywhere in Kigali.
