description Nkatie Cake Overview

Nkatie cake is a Ghanaian confection made primarily from roasted groundnuts, commonly called peanuts, and caramelized sugar. The mixture is cooked, spread or shaped while warm, and allowed to harden into a crisp, brittle-like snack that may be cut into bars or formed into small pieces. It is sold by street vendors and in markets and is intended as a portable sweet rather than a baked cake in the usual English sense.
