Slice this deliciously spiced treat into thin rings and savor with your next cup of coffee or tea!
Its producer, Aromas de Medina, is a family company that uses recipes passed down for generations and shares them with the world.

"I should have read the reviews before I bought this cake. It was SO hard to slice that I thought it was stale. This is not for anyone with weak teeth."
