Gluten-Free Lebanese Sfouf Cake
A Lebanese turmeric cake, here made gluten-free. A simple, slightly sweet cake with warming spices, perfect with morning coffee.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 0.5 cup Almond Flour
- 1 cup Sugar
- 2 tbsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tbsp Anise Seeds
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tbsp Tahini (for greasing)
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 175°C. Use the 1 tbsp of tahini to thoroughly grease the inside of a 22.86 × 33.02 cm baking pan, ensuring all surfaces are coated.
- 2In a large mixing bowl, add the 1.5 cups of Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour, 0.5 cup of Almond Flour, 1 cup of Sugar, 2 tbsp of Turmeric Powder, 1 tbsp of Anise Seeds, 2 tsp of Baking Powder, and 0.5 tsp of Salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well combined and uniform in color.
- 3Pour the 0.5 cup of Vegetable Oil and 1 cup of Water into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix everything together with a whisk or spatula until the batter is smooth and no dry streaks of ingredients remain.
- 4Carefully pour the prepared batter into the tahini-greased 22.86 × 33.02 cm baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula if needed. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes.
- 5The cake is done when a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, and the edges are lightly golden. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and place the baking pan on a wire rack.
- 6Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan at room temperature before attempting to cut it; this will ensure it sets properly and is easier to slice. Once completely cooled, cut the cake into squares directly in the pan and serve at room temperature.
