Culinary Travel: Fijian Honey Cake

Fiji, a tropical paradise, made for romantic getaways. Imagine strolling barefoot down a white sandy beach hand in hand with your loved one. Or perchance sitting in the shade of a tree as you take in a ocean view sunset, offering tasty morsels of honey cake to your beloved. Perhaps after you have finalized your trip plans, you might want to taste a bit of honey cake before you go. Honey Cake is one of the highly popular desserts of Fiji. The cake becomes even more-moist and its flavors deepens a day or two after it is made.
