Food for Thought

Here is another version of sfouf, sweetened with granulated sugar and colored and spiced with turmeric. It’s a very simple dessert to prepare that just needs mixing by hand.

Ingredients
  • 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (200 g) sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (7 g) ground turmeric
  • 1 cup (235 ml) milk
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) tahini
  • 1/3 cup (50 g) blanched halved almonds

Method of Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4).

  2. Rub by hand the flour with the vegetable oil in a large bowl, so all the grains get coated with oil. Dissolve the sugar and turmeric in the milk, then add it to the flour, and whisk to obtain a smooth batter.

  3. Use a 10-inch (25.5-cm) diameter round cake pan (or similar in size, rectangular or square), but instead of buttering it, spread the tahini all over the inside, so the cake won’t stick. Pour the batter into it, even it out, and disperse the almonds evenly on top.

  4. Bake for 50 minutes, or as long as needed to cook it through (check it with a cake tester, which should come out clean). Let it cool on a rack, then cut into pieces and serve at room temperature. Sfouf keeps for more than a week in an airtight container.

Yield 4 to 8 servings
