Breaking fast is a cherished moment that brings families together at the dining table. After a long day of fasting, everyone eagerly gathers to share a meal, exchange stories, and strengthen familial bonds. Even more special are the nights when relatives come together under one roof, filling the home with laughter and prayer. Hosting iftar for extended family is a treasured tradition, often concluding with Terawih prayers, making these moments all the more meaningful.
With this once-a-year tradition being a staple in most Muslim households, one question always arises: what can you bring to the breaking fast? While the host usually prepares the main dishes, bringing along a few delightful treats to share post-iftar or after Terawih is always a great idea. Whether it’s a Halal-certified sweet indulgence to end the meal on a high note or a snack to enjoy while catching up with loved ones, Polar Puffs & Cakes has just what you need to make your gathering even more special.
Indulge in these must-try cakes
A great way to end your iftar meal is with a slice of delicious cake. These treats are not only satisfying but also perfect for sharing with your loved ones. Here are some of our yummy selections:
1. Ondeh Ondeh Cake
Drawing inspiration from the beloved traditional kueh, the Ondeh Ondeh Cake features soft, fragrant pandan sponge layered with velvety gula melaka cream. Topped with grated coconut and delicate white chocolate coconut balls, every bite captures the essence of this classic Malay dessert. While it’s a showstopper for Hari Raya celebrations, it also makes for a delightful Ramadan evening treat – perfect for winding down after Terawih prayers.
2. Tapak Kuda – Hazelnut Chocolate
This soft and airy hand-rolled sponge cake hides a luscious, velvety hazelnut chocolate filling that oozes with every bite. A treat made for sharing, the Tapak Kuda – Hazelnut Chocolate pairs wonderfully with a steaming cup of coffee, making it a perfect companion for some heartfelt post-iftar conversations with family and friends.
3. Honeycomb Cake
A golden, caramel-kissed delight, the Honeycomb Cake is a must-have for those who love deep, rich flavours. Its airy, honey-infused texture creates a delicate balance of sweetness and lightness, making it an ideal post-iftar indulgence. Enjoy it with a warm cup of tea for a truly comforting treat after a long day of fasting.
