INGREDIENTS
3 cups plain Flour
1 cup fine Semolina
2 cups Sugar
4 tbsp. powdered milk
3 tsp. Baking Powder
2 tsp. Turmeric powder
2 tbsp. powdered Anise
1 cup vegetable Oil
2 cups of Water
1/4 cup of Black Seeds, Almonds, or Pine nuts
2 large tbsp. Tahini
DIRECTIONS
Heat the oven to medium.
In a shallow bowl whisk the dry ingredients, flour, semolina, sugar, milk, baking powder, turmeric powder, and powdered anise.
Whisk the liquids, vegetable oil and water into the dry mixture until everything is well combined.
Grease a baking pan with Tahini.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top.
Scatter the almonds evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake the sfouf cake at 350F for around 30 minutes on the middle rack of the oven.
Test it with a toothpick in the center to check if it comes out clean. Then run the broiler one minute to give a caramel color top and the almonds develop a golden color.
Cool on a wire rack and cut into squares or diamond shapes.
