homekalvot

Homekalvot, also known as home-made calvots, are a traditional Spanish dish originating from the Valencia region. The dish consists of a large, round cake made from a batter of flour, eggs, and water, which is then topped with a sweet and savory mixture of sugar, cinnamon, and sometimes raisins or other dried fruits. The cake is typically baked in a large, round mold, and is often served during the Christmas season.

The name "homekalvot" is derived from the Catalan word "calvot," which means "bald." This is because the cake is traditionally served to children on Christmas Eve, and the children are encouraged to eat the cake while it is still warm, as it is said to help them grow hair and become strong and healthy.

The dish is typically served with a glass of hot chocolate or a cup of coffee, and is often accompanied by a selection of other traditional Spanish Christmas dishes, such as turrón, polvorones, and natillas. Homekalvot are a popular treat in Spain, and are often made by families and friends as a way to celebrate the holiday season together.
