Vitumba – A Sweet Delight of Cameroon

Vitumbua is a gluten-free East African breakfast pancake that is popular in most African countries. Though their names vary, for example, Masa in Western African countries such as Nigeria and Cameroon. This dish is popular in Swahili-speaking nations such as Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Uganda, Zambia, Rwanda, Somalia, Burundi, Malawi, and Mozambique. However, this Vitumbua can also be found in a few Asian nations such as India and Indonesia. Not only can you have these gluten-free Vitumbua for breakfast, but you can also eat them for snacks in the evening with some homemade sauce or just with honey. Despite the fact that this dish calls for spices such as cardamom, nutmeg, and almond extract, it is customarily flavored with cardamoms. East Africans pair these ultimate cuties with a cup of chai to finish their breakfast or snacks.

It has a hard exterior, but as you bite into it, the fluffiness of the donut melts in your mouth. This would be a warm affair for you thanks to the caramel dip.
