Cake rusks may be traced back to the Indian subcontinent, specifically India and Pakistan. Cake rusks are thought to have arisen as a result of the colonial period’s impact on British cuisine. Rusks, which are twice-baked bread or cake pieces, were introduced to the region, and regional variants developed over time. Cake rusks originated in India as traditional tea-time cookies and evolved into a crispy, sweet dessert created by baking cake slices twice to obtain a dry and crunchy texture. Cake rusks are now a popular addition to tea or coffee, as well as a snack or breakfast dish, reflecting the region’s mix of British and local culinary traditions.
