M'hanncha, the snake cake: almond paste coiled in warqa, baked, and dusted with cinnamon. Slice it so each piece shows the spiral.

M'hanncha, known as the snake cake, is a delightful pastry that graces Moroccan tables during special celebrations. Originating from the rich traditions of Moroccan patisserie, it makes a striking appearance at weddings and festive gatherings, where its intricate spiral form is a visual delight. Crafted by coiling almond paste inside delicate layers of warqa or phyllo, this treat is both a culinary and artistic endeavor. The taste of M'hanncha is a harmonious blend of nutty sweetness from the almond paste, encased in buttery, flaky layers, and finished with a dusting of cinnamon and sugar. Each slice reveals a mesmerizing spiral, making it as beautiful to behold as it is to savor. Enjoy it alongside mint tea, where its flavors can truly shine.
