Best Sfoof Semolina And Turmeric Cake Recipes
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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F, grease a deep rectangular pan 81/4 x121/4 x2 inches deep with a tablespoon of tahini.
- Mix the semolina, flour, baking powder, anise and turmeric in a bowl,.
- Add the olive oil or butter in small pieces and with your hands mix well until all well combined ( I use a cheese shredder for the butter instead of cutting them in small bits).
- In a separate bowl combine warm water or milk and sugar and stir until its dissolved.
- Add the syrup to the flour mixture and beat with a hand beater for 5 minutes.
- Pour into baking pan, sprinkle with sesame seeds, pine nuts or blanched almonds whichever you fancy!
- Bake for about 35 minutes or until the cake has risen and is cooked inside. Test with a toothpick and if it comes out dry the cake is done. Remove from the oven and allow to cool, then cut into diamonds or squares and serve at room temperature This cake will keep for a week if its stored in a sealed container in a cool place.

SFOUF (LEBANESE TURMERIC CAKE)
This Lebanese cake flavored with anise seeds was one of my favorite treats growing up. It's a beautiful bright yellow thanks to turmeric powder. My grandmother shared her recipe with me so I can finally make it for myself!
