How to Make Sfoof Semolina And Turmeric Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8 1/4 x 12 1/4 x 2-inch deep rectangular pan with 1 tablespoon of tahini.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups semolina flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, and 1/2 teaspoon anise seeds (optional).
- Cut 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter (or 1 cup extra virgin olive oil) into small pieces and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your hands to rub the butter/oil into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup warm water (or milk) and 1 cup granulated sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and beat with a hand mixer for 5 minutes until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds, 1/2 cup pine nuts, or 1/2 cup blanched almonds (or a combination!).
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan before cutting.
- Once cooled, cut into diamond or square shapes and serve at room temperature. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
