The signature dessert for Zanzibar whose one-time riches were built upon the clove industry. Many of the tourists who come to Zanzibar spend a day in the "shamba" or farmlands of the island, visiting the spice plantations where some of the finest quality cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg can be found. This cake uses a bit of them all and leaves guests with a flavor of the island.
