- This is different from store bought halva and is more like revani cake (video of my mom making that here: • Angelo's Mom Cooks Rev... ). It only takes a few minutes to prepare once you have all the ingredients ready, 45 minutes to bake, and then 10 minutes to make the syrup.
The ingredients:
-1 cup sugar
-Half cup flour
-1 cup grounded almonds
-2 teaspoons baking powder
-Pinch of salt
-3 eggs
-2 sticks butter
-3/4 cup milk
-2 cups semolina flour
Ingredients for the syrup:
-3 cups sugar
-3 cups water
-Lemon peel
-Cinnamon sticks
-3 or 4 cloves
Leave two sticks of butter out for a few hours or overnight. Put the 1 cup of almonds in a blender and thoroughly blend them. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all the dry ingredients together for the halva except for the sugar in a large bowl. Stir them thoroughly. Take one of the sticks of butter and coat a baking pan with it.
In another bowl, put the two sticks of butter in, add the sugar (my mom messed that part up and put the sugar in with the dry ingredients, which still worked out fine), the three eggs, and use an electric egg beater to whip everything together.
Pour the dry mixture in with the eggs, butter, and sugar a little at a time, stir it with a spoon, and keep adding the dry mix and milk gradually and stirring.
Pour the entire mix in the baking pan, shake it to make it level, and bake for 45 minutes. While it's cooking you can prepare (but do not cook yet) the syrup. Put in a pot 3 cups sugar, 3 cups water, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and lemon peel.
Stick a knife in and pull it out to see if it's done. If nothing sticks to it, it's done. Then turn the heat up on the syrup mixture and let it boil for about 10 minutes.
While the halva is still warm (but not hot or cold) strain the syrup for the lemon peel, cinnamon sticks, and cloves, and pour it onto the halva in the baking pan. Let it soak overnight and serve. It's really good. Though I think my mom could have cut down quite a bit on the sugar.
My mom mentions her excitement for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 again and wonders if one of my favorite filmmakers, Alex Proyas, is going to see it. And I bring up how Adam Carolla hates halva. Which I kind of get. It can be strange and an acquired taste.

ill halva piece of this cake
Love her, what a sweet lady. Reminds me of my mom , she has been gone for 13 years and I am still heartbroken. Cherish your mom.
Thanks! Though I'm sorry to hear about your mom.
I really enjoy this video Angelo, Thank you for being kinder in the video to your Mom.
The best part of videos for me is when Mama tastes final product! She loves her cooking and makes me want some too! 💖
Thanks!
Oh no you did not make a mistake beautiful lady. Clearly an adaptation that needed to happen as it looks amazing. Love watching you!
I love her!!! Tell your mama I say hello from Kentucky and I love her videos!!
+Lisa Littrell Thanks!
"How is this ANY different from revani?!?!"Lol I kept thinking the EXACT same thing the entire video until the end when you finally came out and said it for me....the smirk on your mothers face as a response was too funny dude!
+jhlfsc Thanks! It's still good, but come on, this is basically revani.
You guys are the best
+Gamer Player Thanks!
I liked this video he was actually nice to his momma.
That looks so good! I need my own Greek mother in my life for cooking like this! Lol
+Heather Heaton Thanks!
Looks good 🙂
i love this lady
I buy the blue package of halva in the supermarket. Love the sweetness in it. They also sell the green package. Love it so does my sister. 💞
Oh my God that was so funny :) but that cake looks so good. It is like middle eastern Busbosa!!
Thanks!
Interesting cakeified version, looks great! The ''usual'' one contains tahini; I think that's what makes it solid and dry.
+i 6tir I would be interested in making this on my own sometime with wayyyyyyyy less sugar.
Yep had this before growing up its really sweet but good
Nice channel! Loving the concept
+Enrico Siciliano Thanks!
love your videos
Thanks!
Wowww... This is really good Thanks for the uploading God bless...
Thanks!
Thanks, there are many versions of this recipe. Happy Easter.
+Alan Denniston Thanks!
I make halva with just coarse semolina, sugar, a little oil and water.
Omg I love halva my mom makes it all the time 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
+Hamza Saeed I like it, too. Especially when it's kind of creamy.
IDK do you have to be raised Greek to find the humor in the video's Angelo LOLOLOL Look On The Ground LOLOLOLOL You are so bad you are funny LOLOLOL Your Ma' Loves You to Pieces, The First Born in Greek Families are the Most Loved, always always always. Your Dad and Ma' Love You to Dead Angelo :)
Thanks!
She is the cutest woman ever!
Thanks!
I can see you all have an awesome relationship to enjoy being hilarious with each other. Good on you! It's super cool:)
That is definitely NOT Halva at all. That is more of an Orange or Lemon Cake....I will try to find out the name from my mom....but boy is that good... I love it big time :)
+SuperXtos This one is semolina-based. It's a different kind of halva.
+SuperXtos I don't know why my mom calls it halva.
+FlyingOverTr0ut Your mom is awesome lol
OU WEEE! Looks shamazing, gimme some!! Does seem close to revani gotta agree with you. I have a delish and easy 5 minute 3 ingredient Halva recipe(like the grainy store bought type made with tahini)It's so much nicer than the shop ones, as most home made stuff is. Chocolate Halva recipe is just easy too! Let me know if your mum wants the recipes! X
Thanks!
"To hell with you" lol your moms the coolest!
+Chandler Absher Thanks!
How many oz, in a stick of butter
muha love u mom
Thanks!
Angelo read the box how much you take of the all Bran, I take every morning 1/2 cup stay on it all the time and don't forget the water. LOTS
Of it every Day. Be good. Regards to your mom and tell her I made the lemon chiffon cake Excellent..
Thanks!
I wanna halva too 😫😫😩😫
I love your videos . Your mum is a typical Greek mother and I enjoy her comments. But what she makes is not a halva . It's ravani.. It's nice ,though , to keep the Greek traditions.
Thanks! Yeah, it's pretty much revani.
I would like to make this dessert but semolina flour is not readily available where I live and I don’t understand why since it is commonly used... By the way, you just like annoying mom, don’t you 😏? Your relationship with your mom reminds me so much of my husband and his mom😄
its called shamaly
This is not halva, this is RAVANIJA !!
It's Basbousa in Arabic or Hariesa
my bro will not let me see any of your funny videos i am 😢 now
+Savanha Valentine Why not?
idk by
This is not halva, this is ravani !!
