Intro:

Basbousa is an Egyptian Semolina cake, drenched in syrup, that is best enjoyed for breakfast with a cup of coffee. For a long time, I’ve been trying to find the perfect recipe for this traditional Middle Eastern treat. None of the recipes my mother and aunts know of have worked out well for me, until now. Finally, with a little creativity, I have found the perfect secret ingredient: canned cream!

Here the easiest step

1. First, pour the canned cream into the mixing bowl. Use this can to measure the rest of the ingredients.
2. Combine the remaining ingredients into the mixing bowl.
3. Transfer the semolina mixture into the baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
4. Decorate the top with almonds in this step (optional)
