كيك الخبيصة بالزعفران والتمر
Middle Eastern 15 Mins Prep · 40 Mins Cook
- Soak the saffron strands in 2 tbsps of warm milk and set aside for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Grease a 22cm cake tin with baking spray.
- Melt the ghee. Finely chop the dates.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the semolina, flour, sugar, baking powder and ground cardamom. While mixing, gradually add the milk, water and ghee to the dry ingredients. Mix well to form a smooth liquidy batter. Stir in the chopped dates and saffron-infused milk. Mix until evenly distributed. Pour the batter into the greased cake tin, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for approx. 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan while the ghee seeps in.
- Once cooled, remove it from the pan and place on a serving plate or cake stand.
- Decorate the top of the cake with the gold leaf and a dusting of icing sugar.
