In Dubai, during Ramadan, sales of honey cakes made according to Russian recipes increased sharply.
Demand for sweets has traditionally increased during Ramadan in the UAE, but this year one particular dessert was able to set an absolute record. Supermarket chains in the country reported a sharp increase in demand for multilayer honey cake, which is also popular in Russia, where it is known as "honey cake". Thousands of trades are bought every day during the holy month.
Spinneys Dubai representatives confirmed that honey production had to increase by almost 250 percent due to the sharp increase in orders. A grocery store sells 3,000 honey cakes daily during Ramadan. The company produces its own honey in Dubai. Sweetness is prepared using natural ingredients, including honey. According to Spinneys, it takes only three minutes to make one cake.
At Al Maya supermarkets, shoppers also stock up on Iftar honey cakes. Kamal Vachani, director of Al Maya Group, said their demand grew by 30 percent. Not only the emirates, but also many expats prefer the honey cake.
