CREAM OF WHEAT CAKE
Strange as it may sound, this cake tastes wonderful. I fell in love with a cake called basbousa while staying in Jordan, and couldn't find semolina anywhere here back home in the states, so I made up my own version using cream of wheat, when I remembered having cooked semolina the same as I did cream of wheat back home. Jordanians don't have cream of wheat. Funny how we miss things only when we don't have them.

Steps:
- Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift the cream of wheat with the baking powder and baking soda two times, then fold into the butter mix alternately with the yogurt.
- Grease a 8x12 inch pan and fold the batter into it evenly.
- Arrange the almonds along the top so that each half will be in the center of a piece when it's cut, you should have about 4 almonds across and 7 almonds down.
- Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, make the syrup by dissolving the sugar into the water in a small heavy saucepan over high heat until it begins to boil.
- Add the lemon juice.
- Turn the heat down to med-high, and boil rapidly about 10 minutes, then cool by standing the pan in a larger pan of cold water.
- When the cake is cooled, cut as desired.
- We usually make diamond shapes or squares, and serve by spooning the syrup over the cake.
- If desired, thick whipped cream can be served over top instead, or a bit of honey syrup.
