Lebanese Semolina Turmeric Cake
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups semolina flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/8 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon pine nuts
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).
2
Next, take a moment to lubricate a 9-inch round baking pan with some cooking oil or non-stick spray, ensuring it's well-coated to prevent any baked goods from sticking.
3
In a tiny bowl, combine semolina, flour, turmeric, and baking powder. Set the mixture aside for now.
4
In a large mixing vessel, whisk together milk and sugar until the sugar has fully incorporated into the liquid. Then, add in the previously prepared mixture of semolina, flour, turmeric, and baking powder. Gradually pour in oil while continuously mixing with an electric beater on a medium speed for 5 minutes. This crucial step cannot be skipped, so please refrain from taking any shortcuts.
5
Once the mixture is well-combined and smooth, pour it into a 9-inch round baking pan that has been prepared earlier.
6
Finally, sprinkle some pine nuts over the top of the mixture before placing it in the preheated oven.
7
Bake the cake in the oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out dry.
