HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan.

02

In a large bowl, whisk together the fine semolina, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

03

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, orange blossom water, and 1/4 cup of honey.

04

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.

05

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

06

Once removed from the oven, immediately drizzle generously with additional honey while the cake is still warm. This allows the honey to soak in.

07

Let the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting into 8 squares and serving.

Chef's Tips

For an extra touch of flavor, you can sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds or chopped pistachios over the top after drizzling with honey. Ensure your orange blossom water is culinary grade for the best taste.

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have orange blossom water, you can use 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon of orange zest for a different but still delicious flavor profile. Almond flour can be used in place of all-purpose flour for a gluten-free option, though the texture may vary slightly.
