About Halva cake

Halva cake is a dense and sweet dessert with origins in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Traditionally made from tahini (ground sesame paste) and sugar or honey, halva is often enriched with ingredients like nuts, cocoa, or vanilla for added flavor. Its rich, crumbly texture makes it a popular treat in many cultures, often served with tea or coffee. Sesame seeds, the main component in tahini, provide healthy fats, plant-based protein, and essential minerals like calcium and magnesium. However, halva cake tends to be high in sugar and calories, making portion control important for those monitoring their intake. While it offers some nutritional benefits from its sesame base, the treat is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
