Semolina Turmeric Cake (Sfoof) image

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!)

I'm allergic to nuts. Can I omit the almonds from this recipe?

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have a semolina flour. Can I substitute all-purpose flour instead?

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I would have liked.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of turmeric, but I'm so glad I did! The cake was moist and flavorful, and the turmeric added a subtle warmth that I really enjoyed.
