Helba Recipe (Fenugreek Cake) | The Only Recipe You Will Ever Need | Drogo's Kitchen

One of our favourite recipes at Drogo’s Kitchen is the Fenugreek cake, or traditionally regarded as a Helba recipe in the Middle East. Helba is basically the Arabic term for fenugreek, and can be interchanged accordingly. This Middle Eastern dessert is essentially a delightful semolina cake, sweetened with maple syrup and topped with roasted almonds. This fenugreek semolina cake is similar to the consistency of the namura or basbousa desserts that are also widely popularized Middle Eastern desserts. With the use of semolina in the dessert, the fenugreek cake is seemingly more dense moist in texture, and making it more enjoyable with a hot cup of tea or coffee on the side. Just a tip though, remember to pour the syrup while it’s hot when adding it to the fenugreek cake to ensure a well absorbed semolina cake! Another great element to this helba recipe is that, it is essentially a vegan cake. So it’s an awesome dessert to have around a diverse selection of family and friends. In addition, with fenugreek as the main ingredient, this helba recipe includes a wide range of healthy benefits, such as decreased blood sugar levels and reduction in inflammation and cholesterol levels. As a Middle Eastern dessert, the fenugreek ingredient in the cake also facilitates milk production in breastfeeding mothers, making this an excellent lactation recipe to share with expecting, new, or lactating mothers. Most lactation recipes are usually in the form of cookies or tea, so a fenugreek cake is not only more celebratory as a cake, but it is just more exciting for all the mothers who are also cake lovers out there. Can we all agree that it’s always more enjoyable and an absolute bonus to consume desserts that we know are good for us? :) I hope you guys give this helba recipe a try, share it with loved ones and enjoy it as much as we did! 👉🏽 [Turn on CC if you want a more guided tutorial] 👈🏽 0:00 - Intro 0:27 - Boiling the fenugreek seeds 0:45 - Mixing the dry ingredients 1:21 - Adding the wet ingredients 2:03 - Preparing the baking dish 2:24 - Precutting the Helba squares 2:39 - Adding nuts 2:59 - Baking 3:10 - Preparing the syrup 3:25 - Pouring the syrup 3:30 - Plating _____________________________________ Ingredients For The Cake : 450g All purpose flour 20g Coconut flakes 125g Semolina 1 Tsp baking powder 1 Tsp Active dry yeast 40g Icing sugar 1/2 Tsp Salt 1/2 Cup Corn oil 35g Fenugreek 2 Cups Water Ingredients For The Syrup : 2 Cups water 1 Tbsp Lemon juice 2 Cups Maple syrup Thank you for watching.
