How to Make Basboosa Suji Cake Arabic Semolina Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the semolina, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, milk, and orange blossom water.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
  8. Drizzle with simple syrup (optional): While the cake is still warm, drizzle with a simple syrup made by simmering equal parts sugar and water until the sugar dissolves. Add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness (optional).
