Time 55m

Yield 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
3 teaspoons coconut
3 cups fine semolina
1 teaspoon baking powder
blanched almond, split
3 cups sugar (for syrup)
1 lemon, juice of
2 cups water (for syrup)

Steps:

  • Cream the butter and one cup sugar. Stir in a 1/2 cup water.
  • Sift together the semolina, baking powder, and stir into the butter mixture to form a smooth batter.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Lightly grease an 8-by-12-inch cake pan and pour in the batter. Spread it evenly with the back of a spoon and then score across the top of the cake. Place an almond in the center of each diamond.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, when the cake should be firm and lightly browned.
  • Combine three cups sugar, lemon juice, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Cool.
  • Pour cooled syrup, spoonfuls at a time, over the hot cake. Stop when the cake will not absorb any more and set the cake aside to cool before serving.
