Basbousa Recipe|Eggless Egyptian Semolina/Rava Dessert|No Flour No Egg Arabic Dessert|Rava/Suji Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of rava/semolina, 3/4 cup of sugar (or brown sugar), 1/2 cup of melted butter, 3/4 cup of coconut powder, 2 cups of milk, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract.

Mix all the ingredients until well combined.

Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and smooth the top.

Garnish with soaked and peeled almonds (10-15).

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

While the basbousa is baking, prepare the sugar syrup by combining 3/4-1 cup of sugar, 3/4 cup of water, 1 tsp of lemon juice, and 1 tsp of rose water (or kewra water) in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then simmer until slightly thickened.

Once the basbousa is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the hot sugar syrup over it.

Let it soak for a few minutes before serving.
