Ingredients

Cake

  • 7 eggs

  • 2 and 1/4 cups sugar, divided

  • 1 cup oil

  • 1/2 cup orange juice

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Glaze

Additional Flavor Options

  • 1 cup fresh cranberries + zest of 1 orange

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries, tossed with 1 tablespoon Glicks Flour + zest of 1 lemon; replace the orange juice in the recipe with lemon juice

  • rainbow sprinkles

  • chocolate shavings

Directions

Prepare the Cake

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease Bundt pan very well with baking spray or oil and flour. (When using a pan with lots of crevices, make sure to grease and flour all the grooves.)

2.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs with one cup sugar for five minutes. Add oil, juice, baking powder, flour, remaining sugar, and vanilla, and mix until well-combined. Stir in grated halva.

3.

Pour into prepared Bundt pan. If you’re using the halva cream, fill the pan with two-thirds of the batter, add dollops of halva cream, and then pour the remaining batter on top.

4.

Bake for 50–60 minutes, until an inserted toothpick or skewer comes out clean.

5.

While the cake is still hot, use a knife to release the cake from the edges so it slides out more easily. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then flip cake over onto serving plate.

Prepare the Glaze

1.

In a small bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar, tahini paste, vanilla, and water, and mix until smooth.

2.

Drizzle glaze over cake and garnish with shredded halva.

Variation:

To make this recipe as a marble cake, omit the halvah and halvah cream. Pour three-quarters of the batter into prepared pan. Mix three tablespoons of cocoa powder into the remaining batter. Pour chocolate batter over white batter and swirl with a knife.

don’t taste halva as strong as I thought it would .I used the cream and it sunk to bottom of the pan and didn’t come out nicely

Every year on Rosh Hashhana I bring a nicely decorated bundt cake to my mother-in-law.
This year I was looking for something different than the ones I’ve been making.
I came across this recipe and decided to give it a try. It was a HUGE hit!
Came out so pretty and the flavor was something totally new.
And I loved how the white icing fit the Rosh Hashana theme so perfectly 😉
Will definitely be making this again iy”H!
