Categories     Cake     Dessert     Bake     Phyllo/Puff Pastry Dough

Yield 1 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable shortening (to grease pan)
4 cups farina (same as Cream of Wheat [tm])
1 1/4 cups melted butter (2 1/2 sticks)
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 cups plain yogurt
1/2 cup blanched almonds
Honey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400˚F. Put the butter in the microwave-safe bowl, and heat 15 seconds at a time until mostly melted. Mix farina, sugar and butter in a bowl. Mix the baking soda and baking powder, then stir into the yogurt in another bowl. When mixed, add it to the farina mixture and blend together. Grease the baking pan with a little shortening (or, to make it more authentic, 2 tablespoons tahini, which is sesame paste) and pour the batter in. (As an option, you can drizzle the top with 2 tablespoons of yogurt.) Using a knife, score the top of the batter into medium-sized rectangles -- or to be a bit fancier, try diamond shapes! (You'll probably make 12-16 pieces.) Place a blanched almond in the middle of each piece. Using your oven mitts, put the pan into the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until it's brown on top. When the cake is done, take it out of the oven. Let it cool for 10 minutes while you clean up the kitchen.

Meh. It was okay. The cake was a bit bland, and the syrup lacked flavor. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

Disappointed. The cake was dry and crumbly, and the syrup was too thick. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

Solid recipe. The namoura turned out well, although I found it to be a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of sugar in the syrup.
