Basbusah / Basboussa


Basbusah is an Egyptian recipe. I first tasted it at an international students' festival at California State University, Chico campus in 1976-1980. It was delicious.

C. Adding almonds
  1. After baking for 20 minutes, score the top of the cake, to give it a checker-board design. 
  2. Place a whole almond in the centre of each diamond piece
  3. Use organic roasted almonds. 
  4. Finish baking the cake for the remaining 20 minutes. 

D. Adding syrup
  1. Pour cool syrup on cake while the cake is still warm. 
  2. Serve cake in its tray while still warm.

BASBUSAH RECIPE #2

A. Syrup

2 glasses of sugar

4 glasses of water

Preparation of syrup:

In a saucepan, bring to the boil water and sugar.

Cook 20 minutes over medium heat.

Cool the syrup before sprinkling over the hot basusah.

Sprinkle the hot basbusah with the cold syrup.


B. Cake

Ingredients in order:

1 can of sweetened condensed milk (how many ml?)

120 ml of rapeseed oil

2 eggs

1 glass of 200 ml of almond powder

1 glass of 200 ml of fine semolina

1 pinch of salt

1 sachet of baking powder (11 g)

Preparation:

Preheat the oven and grease a baking tray with butter and lightly sprinkle semolina.

In a bowl and using a mixer, pour in the milk, oil, eggs, salt and mix with the mixer to have a very homogeneous mixture.

Add the two powders (almonds and semolina) and beat at low speed to obtain a homogeneous mixture.

Pour the mixture into the baking tray and bake at 200 ° C for 20 to 25 minutes. The basbusah must be well-browned at the bottom and at the top. It is important. Otherwise it is uncooked.

At the end of the baking, sprinkle cold syrup on the hot basbusah and leave to rest at least 2 hours before serving.
