Sugar cake

In Saint Kitts and Nevis, sugar cake is one of the most popular dishes. Sugar, ginger, and coconut are mixed together to make it. Because it has a hard outside shell, it is rather crunchy to eat, but the interior is quite soft.

For anybody who adores sweets, sugar cake is a dream come true. It's created with sugar, coconut, and ginger, and it's colored a variety of colors, including pink and brown, to make it festive as well as tasty. This delicacy is addictive because it is hard on the exterior and soft on the inside.

This is one of the most loved snacks on the island. The candy is made from sugar, coconut water and melted ginger. The special thing is that the candy is added with food colors such as pink or brown, which not only creates eye-catching beauty but also stimulates appetite. The outside of the sugar candies are crispy, but still retain the softness on the inside.
