It is a popular choice for a light breakfast or a mid-afternoon treat, offering a simple yet comforting experience.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other biscuits, cake rusks are intentionally baked twice to achieve a drier, harder texture. This process makes them ideal for dipping. The addition of fennel seeds distinguishes this particular rusk with a distinct aromatic quality not found in plain varieties.
