This week, I baked a baseema cake, which is the sibling of the basbousa cake I made during my 365-day baking challenge.
Baseema cake is mainly made from semolina flour and shredded coconut. This combination creates a unique texture!
It's then topped off with a delicious sugary syrup that keeps the cake incredibly moist. I'm still dreaming about it.
This cake makes a pretty small batch of baseema, so if you want to feed a larger crowd, double the recipe.
RECIPE:
INGREDIENTS:
Cake:
2 cups finely shredded coconut
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup semolina flour
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Syrup:
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
STEPS:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F, and line a 6-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
Combine all the cake ingredients in a large bowl. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes.
While the cake is baking, make the syrup. Over medium-high heat, bring the vanilla extract, water, and sugar to a boil, and then let it simmer for 5 minutes.
When the cake is done, poke holes over the top. Allow the cake to soak in the syrup and serve.
Enjoy!
