Semolina yogurt rose petal cake/rose flavoured basbousa
Cakes
We need desserts to brighten up dull days as well as in those times when our mind is troubled or disturbed!My doctor advised me to have a nibble at a piece of chocolate if I was feeling low or depressed.Chocolate is fine on some occasions but we need something different to pep up our moods.This cake serves that very purpose!I always delight at the taste of Rose and this recipe is one of the best uses of rose essence and petals I had in my pantry! <br /> <br />This cake is called Basbousa and is one of the best known desserts in the Middle East after Kunafa and Baklava.I saw this recipe on the program My Greek Kitchen featuring Tonia Buxton and fell in love with this then and there.Recently I made candied Rose Petals (eggless and with eggs) and after using them in some delicious recipes I had the last 4 tbsp left which I wanted to include in something very special. <br />I came across a recipe in the site Inquiring Chef and simply loved their Semolina Yogurt Cake. <br />I added Rose essence,chopped Pistachios and my very special candied Rose Petals in the cake with absolutely spectacular results.This recipe is delicious served with a cup of Indian chai,masala chai or fruit teas!You can whip cream or Greek Yogurt with a tbsp of powdered sugar and spoon over a slice if you like. <br /> <br />I used a rectangular Wilton Cake pan.You can use any pan you like but remember it should not be too raised like a bundt/loaf pan as the syrup would not seep in effectively!
