How to Make Basboosa Sooji Cake Arabian
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the semolina, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before drizzling with the simple syrup.
- To make the simple syrup, combine the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Drizzle the cooled simple syrup evenly over the cooled cake.
- Let the cake sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the syrup to absorb before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
