How to Make Namoura Egyptian Honey Cake

  1. Preheat your 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, olive oil, and honey until well combined.
  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 toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of elegance (optional).
