Halva cake is a delightful treat that combines an airy texture with the rich aroma of Eastern sweetness. The recipe originates from Arabic cuisine, where halva has long been a symbol of flavor richness. In this cake, it adds a delicate sweetness and nutty hint that harmonizes with the soft base of sour cream and flour. Its porous structure makes each piece light and melt-in-the-mouth, while baking at 190°C achieves a golden crust. This cake pairs perfectly with a cup of fragrant tea or coffee, filling the moment with coziness. This treat will delight guests at celebrations and is also an excellent option for family tea time, providing enjoyment with every bite.
