In addition to halva, you will need eggs, sugar, flour and cocoa.

Let's start cooking.

Once I was preparing this cake for a children's party and decided to decorate it with sprinkling for Easter cakes. What is needed for children - they really liked the cake itself and its decoration.

Halva can be not only a separate dessert, but also a great addition to cakes. We hope you enjoy our recipes and take their rightful place in your kitchen. Enjoy your meal!
