Comment préparer Basboosa Haressa Semolina Cake

**Prepare the Syrup:** In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
**Simmer the Syrup:** Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the syrup thickens and reaches a light syrupy consistency.
**Add Lemon Zest:** Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. Set aside to cool completely.
**Prepare the Batter:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1 heaped cup (approximately 150g) coarse semolina, 1 cup plain yogurt, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ cup vegetable oil until well combined.
**Bake the Cake:** Pour the batter into a greased 9x12 inch baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and set.
**Cut and Garnish:** Once cooled slightly, cut the cake diagonally into small diamond shapes. Top each square with a blanched almond.
**Grill for Golden Perfection:** Broil for 3-4 minutes, watching carefully, until the almonds are lightly golden brown.
**Syrup Infusion:** Pour the cooled syrup evenly over the warm cake. Let it sit in the dish to absorb the syrup completely.
**Cool and Serve:** Allow the Basboosa to cool completely in the dish before serving. This prevents it from crumbling.
