Served Sfouf Lebanese cake

Sfouf

Sfouf is a traditional Lebanese cake and one of the most popular desserts in Middle Eastern cuisine. Turmeric gives it a distinctive golden-yellow color and a mildly spicy flavor, while sesame seeds and almonds provide a crunchy texture. The origin of Sfouf dates back hundreds of years, and it is often prepared during religious holidays and family gatherings. It is the perfect accompaniment to a cup of warm tea or coffee on a rainy afternoon. The secret to perfect Sfouf is the right proportions of ingredients and a consistent baking temperature, which ensures a crispy exterior and a soft interior.
