A Lebanese dessert that is not overly sweet. It is pleasing to the American palate due to its lack of rose water and orange blossom essence, found in most Middle Eastern desserts. Sahteyn! (Bon appetit!)

SFOOF SEMOLINA AND TURMERIC CAKE

This cake has density to it, it can be served vegan by substituting extra virgin olive oil for butter and water for milk, it will taste just as good. Traditionally its cut in small squares and each square has a pine nut or blanched almond, I've served it with toasted sesame seeds when I wanted Sfoof and was out of pine nuts and almonds. You can omit the anise, however the flavor adds a little sweetness and takes it to another level. I absolutely love this cake and I hope you will too! Sfoof is great served with tea or coffee for breakfast.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients, and preheat the oven. This ensures smooth and efficient cooking.
  • High-Quality Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Choose organic semolina and turmeric if possible.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring eggs and yogurt to room temperature before using. This helps them incorporate better into the batter.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in a dense, tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cake during baking. Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center; it should come out clean when the cake is done.
  • Cooling: Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. This allows the flavors to develop and the cake to set properly.

Conclusion:

This semolina and turmeric cake is a delicious and nutritious treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its vibrant color and unique flavor, it is sure to impress your friends and family. Experiment with different spices and nuts to create your own unique variation of this delightful cake.
