==Description==
Nantoon Treasure Cake was a traditional type of vegetarian cake from the Colonies worldStar Wars: Smuggler's Guide Nantoon. The Nantoonian cake was brown in color, with four layers of green filling that darken in shade from the top down. The cake also had a hollow center filled with colorful confectionery and a brown garnish sprinkled over the top.
==History==
As part of a culinary tour of the galaxy that he took between 34 ABY and 35 ABY, the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs visited Nantoon. While on the world, he considered trying to track down a treasure vault that his former employer, Pirate Queen Maz Kanata had told him about; however, he ultimately chose to avoid such a dangerous venture and instead rewarded his good judgment with a slice of Nantoon Treasure Cake. Tuggs later included a recipe for the Nantoonian cake in his third cookbook, The Ultimate Cookbook, which was published in 35 ABY. In the book, he described the confectionery filling as the secret treasure of the cake, musing that while it would not make him rich, it would also not cause his death.
==Behind the scenes==
