Chocolate Halva Cake Without Sugar | Ideal for Birthdays

It's cake and halva at the same time. This halva chocolate cake will blow your mind.

The process to make it is super simple and it's also super tasty. The ingredients you will need to make it are very simple. One of the most important is the coarse semolina and the fine semolina from Melissa that make the difference.

To make it I used coconut sugar and that is the reason why the halva layer came out so dark. The combination of the halva with the chocolate ganache makes the result delicious.

Tips and Substitutions

You can decorate your cake as you like. However, the grated biscuit makes that cake even more amazing.

Instead of coconut sugar that I used in the syrup, you can put any sugar substitute you want in the same amount.

The coconut milk I used for the ganache is the canned one you will find in supermarkets.
