Cakes in the Bahamas

Bahamian folk love their cake and there are a variety of classic cakes on offer here. In general the classic Bahamian cakes are simple, quite dense and moist. One of the favorites is good old pound cake and we particularly enjoyed the ones with added coconut.

Another cake you might come across quite often in the Bahamas is 'Johnny cake'. The term Johnny cake means different things to different people and can be made with corn or wheat flour and be very sweet or quite savory to eat as a side dish to main courses
