PISTACHIO BAKLAVA CAKE RECIPES

 Baklava is a sweet pastry that originated in the Turkish and Lebanese communities in North America. The dough is often filled with nuts, such as almonds, pistachios, or hazelnuts, and then coated in a sugar syrup. 

The recipe typically calls for a layer of phyllo dough, which is boiled before it’s baked. After being baked, the phyllo dough is cut into thin layers and then spreadable using a fork or your fingers. Baklava can be eaten as is or can be wrapped in wax paper and stored in the fridge for later consumption.

PISTACHIO BAKLAVA CAKE


One common problem with eating too much sugar is that it can lead to a sugar coma. This is when the body becomes so used to the high level of sugar that it begins to crave other things, such as food. If you eat a lot of baklava, for example, you may feel like you need more because your stomach doesn’t have enough room to digest all the sugar. Once you start craving other things, it can be difficult to stop. So if you want to make sure you don’t experience a sugar coma when eating baklava, try to limit yourself to just a few small pieces at a time.
