We have had so many kinds of cake but this cake is unique one. It’s made from semolina.

Basbousa(or Hareeseh, or Nammoura, is a traditional Middle Eastern sweet cake that originated in Egypt. It is made from a semolina batter and sweetened with orange flower water or rose water simple syrup. It is called basbousa in Egyptian and Hareeseh in Arabic and shamali in Armenian . The Persian name for the cake, revani, has also entered the Greek and Turkish.
