Halwa Surprise Loaf Cake
Halwa Surprise Loaf Cake
Great British Baking Show ™ - Judging

Sumayah: "My loaf cake is inspired by a carrot cake, but using halwa, which is like a South Asian dessert."


Voice-Over: "Sumayah balanced her sweet carrot halva centre with cream cheese icing in her Halwa Surprise Loaf Cake."


Prue Leith: "Well, I think it looks amazing."


Paul Hollywood: "Looks like it's got a good, strong bake as well. But what does it taste like? (Tastes) The halva carries a beautiful punch. The sponge itself, the coconut level is perfect."


Prue Leith: "But what I really like is the flake. It falls apart so it's not been overmixed. It is so delicious. It is one of the most interesting cakes I've ever eaten. It's lovely."

About The Great British Baking Show ™

The Great British Bake Off ™ (often abbreviated to Bake Off or GBBO and referred to in the United States as The Great British Baking Show ™) is a streamed British baking competition, in which a group of amateur bakers compete against each other in a series of rounds, hoping to impress the judges with their baking skills. One contestant in The Great British Baking Show ™ is eliminated in each round, and the winner is selected from the three contestants who reach the final.


The Great British Baking Show ™ operates on a weekly elimination process to find the best all-around baker from the contestants, who are all amateurs. In each episode, the bakers are given three challenges based on that week's theme: a signature bake, a technical challenge, and a show-stopper. The bakes are assessed by the judges who then choose a "Star Baker" for the week, and a contestant is also eliminated. In the final round, three bakers are left and a winner is chosen from the three.
