Greek Halva Cake
Ingredients
- 1 cup oil
- 2 cups semolina
- 4 cups water
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup honey
- lemon peel
- cinnamon stick
- grated orange peel
- orange juice
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup chopped almonds
Preparation
In one pot, prepare the syrup: cook the water with the sugar, honey, orange juice, lemon peel and a cinnamon stick, until the sugar is completely dissolved.In a second pot, heat the oil, add the semolina and stir until the semolina is lightly browned.
Pour the sugar syrup over the semolina mixture carefully and gradually, preferably with a ladle; the mixture will bubble.
Stir until all the syrup is absorbed into the semolina and the mixture pulls away from the pot.
Add dried cranberries, almonds and grated orange peel. You can also add walnuts, pine nuts, roasted pistachios, raisins, etc.
Transfer the mixture to a greased pan, sprinkle cinnamon on top, wait until the cake has completely cooled, and then invert it onto a large serving plate.
