Easy and delicious egg-free turmeric cake from Lebanon

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Soft semolina flour (Ultra-fine or pasta)
  • 2 cups Granulated white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon Yellow turmeric spice
  • 4 tablespoons Powdered milk
  • 2 1/4 cups Water (at room temperature)
  • 1 cup Canola Oil
  • Toppings: Crushed Pistachios, Crushed Walnuts, Pine nuts, Raisins (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Butter (or use cooking spray on) a 9x13 pan well and add the batter.
  3. Place dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well with a whisk.
  4. Add wet ingredients on top of the dry ingredients in the bowl and mix well.
  5. Place the crushed nuts and pine nuts/ raisins (or topping of your choice) on top of the batter. Carefully place in rows that account for either the diamond or rectangular pieces you plan to cut.
  6. Put in the oven for 50 min. at 350 deg F or until a fork comes out clean. The top will quickly get to a medium golden brown, thanks to the color of the turmeric powder. That makes it easy to undercook this cake, so check carefully for doneness.
