Description
This variation on semolina and turmeric cake (called sfouf in Lebanon) is light and not-too-sweet...the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea or coffee. The turmeric and almonds add an unusual brain boosting combination.
Tip:
To serve this cake in the traditional way, don't cut it into slices. Instead, cut it into small squares or diamonds.
