Honey Cake: The Sweet Only Bangalore's Iyengar Bakeries Make

3 min read · Bangalore Food · Updated June 2026  |  Plan this trip with AI →

Sponge cake soaked in sugar syrup and glazed with a colorful sugar coating -- a Bangalore Iyengar bakery invention unique to the city, not found anywhere else in India in this form. Nostalgic, cheap, and genuinely unmissable.

Any Iyengar bakery here works -- look specifically for the colorful glazed squares in the display case, which is the visual signature of this exact cake.

Multiple outlets near Gandhi Bazaar are equally reliable, useful if you're already in this part of the city for Brahmin's Coffee Bar or Vidyarthi Bhavan.
