Gingerbread cake with proper ginger warmth in it, dark, moist and spiced rather than simply sweet.
Ginger gives a gentle heat at the back of each bite, the kind that builds slowly and sits well with tea or coffee. This is the cake for people who find most desserts too plain, and it is a good choice in the cooler, rainy stretches of the Kigali year when something warming is welcome.
Priced at 4,800 RWF. The spice deepens over a day or two, so it is worth keeping a few slices back. Order online from Jollof Bistro for a Kigali delivery or a Remera pickup.
