    This is one of my truly favorite cakes. Similar to the Egyptian Basbousa. It is moist, gets better as the days pass and just delicious!

    Ingredients

    • The cake:
    • 1 cup flour
    • 1 cup semolina
    • 1 cup coconut
    • 3/4 cup sugar
    • 1 tbsp. vanilla paste
    • 4 eggs
    • 3/4 cups oil
    • 1 cup orange juice + zest
    • Syrup:
    • 1 cup water
    • 3/4 cups sugar
    • lemon juice from 1 lemon or 1/2 cup orange juice

    Directions

    1. Whip the egg whites and sugar until you get a thick white cream.
    2. Mix all dry ingredients together. Add the egg yolks, oil and orange juice with the zest. Then, fold in the egg whites.
    3. I like to bake it in a bread form, oiled, for about 30 minutes at 330F, 160C.
    4. Pour the syrup over the cake while still warm and sprinkle coconut on top.
