Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200C. Melt the milk and butter together. In a bowl, mix the fine semolina, sugar and grated coconut. Then add the milk and butter on the dry ingredients- mix well.
- Pour mixture into a baking tray, top off with almonds, and bake for 30 minutes. Check to see if ready- it should form a beautiful golden crust. If necessary, extend baking time for another 10 minutes
- While the basboussa is in the oven, prepare the syrup by boiling the water and sugar together on high heat. When it reaches it starts bubbling, let it continue boiling for 5-10 minutes so that it becomes a thick syrup. At the end, add the orange blossom water. Set aside.
- Once the basboussa is baked and out of the oven, immediately pour the syrup gently and slowly over. Let cool for at least an hour- when it's hot it will be too difficult to slice up.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the butter in a small bowl and melt in the microwave. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine together the sugar and yogurt. Now add in the semolina, baking powder and milk. Finally stir in the melted butter, and let the mixture sit briefly so that the butter is absorbed.
- Transfer the semolina mixture into a lightly greased 9"-round cake pan or baking dish. Bake in the 350 degrees F-heated oven for about 40-45 minutes. If necessary, broil ever so briefly so that the top of the basbousa gains color. Watch carefully. When ready, remove from oven.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the cinnamon simple syrup. In a small sauce pan or pot, combine the sugar, water and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil on high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Turn heat to low and let cook for a few minutes until the syrup thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Let cool completely, then remove the cinnamon stick.
- As soon as the basbousa is removed from the oven, pour the cool syrup on the hot basbousa. Let cool completely; syrup must be absorbed into the cake. For best result, let it sit for 1 hour before serving.
- When ready to serve, top the cake with the coconut chips and the coconut and shaved almonds. Slice and enjoy!

BASBOUSA - SEMOLINA CAKES WITH SYRUP
From Saad Fayed, I love basbousa with coffee after a good meal. They are just enough to add that extra "umpf" to a meal. The syrup is not too sugary, but sweet enough to satisfy a sweet tooth. Cooling period of 20 minutes not included.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the flour, coconut and baking powder in a bowl with a fork. Next add the sugar followed by the butter. Add the yogurt and mix with the fork until fully incorporated. The batter should still have a somewhat sandy texture.
- Pour the batter into a greased cake pan. If desired, sprinkle with the slivered almonds.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown.
- Five minutes before the cake is done, prepare the simple syrup. Combine the water and sugar in a sauce pan over the stop top on medium-low heat. As soon as all the sugar dissolves, add the lime juice and turn off the heat. Once the sauce pan has been removed from the heat, add the vanilla. As soon as you take the cake out of the oven, pour the syrup over its surface. It's important that both the cake and syrup are piping hot in order for the cake to fully absorb the syrup. This ensures a divinely dense and sticky cake.
- Serve with berries and creme fraiche. Bel hana well sheffah! (Bon appetite in Arabic)
