BASBOUSA - SEMOLINA CAKES WITH SYRUP
From Saad Fayed, I love basbousa with coffee after a good meal. They are just enough to add that extra "umpf" to a meal. The syrup is not too sugary, but sweet enough to satisfy a sweet tooth. Cooling period of 20 minutes not included.

BASBOUSA, "JUST A KISS" CAKE
Basbousa is a traditional Egyptian cake made with coarse semolina flour or farina and soaked in simple syrup. It's enjoyed throughout the year, but especially on holidays such as Shem el Nessim. The English translation of "basbousa" is "just a kiss," and it certainly lives up to its sweet name.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the flour, coconut and baking powder in a bowl with a fork. Next add the sugar followed by the butter. Add the yogurt and mix with the fork until fully incorporated. The batter should still have a somewhat sandy texture.
- Pour the batter into a greased cake pan. If desired, sprinkle with the slivered almonds.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown.
- Five minutes before the cake is done, prepare the simple syrup. Combine the water and sugar in a sauce pan over the stop top on medium-low heat. As soon as all the sugar dissolves, add the lime juice and turn off the heat. Once the sauce pan has been removed from the heat, add the vanilla. As soon as you take the cake out of the oven, pour the syrup over its surface. It's important that both the cake and syrup are piping hot in order for the cake to fully absorb the syrup. This ensures a divinely dense and sticky cake.
- Serve with berries and creme fraiche. Bel hana well sheffah! (Bon appetite in Arabic)

ALGERIAN BASBOUSSA - SEMOLINA CAKE WITH SYRUP
There are many, many versions of Basboussa ( and many spelling variations!) throughout the Arab world. Some of these are a spongy cake-like texture & some are more of a grainy texture. This Algerian version is more of a cake-like texture - which happens to be my favourite. I absolutely love the addition of coconut in the recipe, it really adds something to the Basboussa. This recipe is extremely simple to make & is delicious served with coffee or tea. It is definitely a Ramadan staple in our home!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C Grease a large baking dish (approx. 11" x7").
- In a pan, place the sugar & water from the 'Syrup Ingredients', bring to the boil then simmer until you have a pale golden colour. Remove from the heat & stir in the lemon juice & the orange flower water. Set aside to cool, you can also store this syrup in the fridge until you need to use it.
- Place all the wet ingredients in a large bowl & using a hand mixer, mix until creamy. Add the dry ingredients a little at a time & mix well.
- Pour into your baking dish & level off the surface with the back of a dessert spoon or palett knife. With a small knife, score the surface into equal squares or diamonds & place a blanced almond in the centre of each square / diamond.
- Bake in the oven until golden - this will take approximately 30-40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven & cut through the scored squares / diamonds. Pour the syrup over the top & allow the Basboussa to soak up the syrup before serving. It is best to leave it for at least 2 hours for best results.
BASBOUSA (SEMOLINA AND ALMOND DRIZZLE CAKE)
Basbousa is a semolina cake that's soft, dense, and flecked with texture throughout. Traditionally, the cake pan is greased with tahini for a toasty crust.

Yield Makes one 8-inch (20-cm) square cake
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350°F or 180°C and grease an 8-inch (20-cm) square baking pan with the tahini.
- Put all the dry ingredients for the cake into a large mixing bowl and mix to combine. Add the milk, yogurt, and melted butter, then use an electric whisk to beat until it forms a smooth, creamy batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, then arrange the almonds in a 4 x 4 grid pattern on the cake, so that each slice will have an almond in the center when sliced. Bake in the hot oven for 40 minutes.
- While the cake is cooking, make the syrup by putting all of the ingredients into a saucepan with ½ cup (4 fl. oz. or 120 ml) of water. Let the sugar dissolve over a moderate heat, then turn the heat up and boil until it has a syrupy consistency (about 10 minutes). Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Remove the cake from the oven and, while it's still hot, pour the syrup all over it. Allow the cake to stand in the pan for 20 minutes to absorb the syrup, then slice into 16 squares and serve.
