Tufeen hushani was a type of cake served during marriage ceremonies on the planet Vulcan.
History and specifics[]
It was made with a native, bitter nectar, symbolic of pon farr, and sweet spices symbolic of the serenity of logic. Ritual preparation was time consuming, complex, and steeped in tradition. For instance, nuts had to be prepared in a bowl fashioned from the burl of a barzeeli tree. The dessert was similar in taste to ha rageel loaf cake.
In 2267, while visiting the USS Enterprise, Amanda Grayson shared a non-ritual recipe with Nurse Christine Chapel. Out of respect for cultural privacy, Chapel acquired the consent of T'Pau before adapting it for the ship's food processors. Her version was similar to carrot cake, formulated with almonds, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, carrots, Jamaican rum, lemon juice, butter, eggs, and sugar. (TOS reference: Official Cooking Manual)
