Semolina Turmeric Cake (Sfoof)

A Lebanese dessert that is not overly sweet. It is pleasing to the American palate due to it's lack of rose water and orange blossom essence, found in most Middle Eastern desserts. Sahteyn! (bon appetit!)

Legend has it that this dessert was the result of a major catering disaster. The dessert for this particular event was to be individual chocolate cakes, but someone took them out of the ovens to soon and the centers where not cooked enough and still liquefied. Well, there was no time to take them off the plates and cook them more, so the Chef simply had his wait staff introduce the dessert as Chocolate 'Lava' Cake! Brilliant!

A light, simple vanilla-flavored cake gets flavor, color, and texture from black sesame seeds. It's made in one pan, and would be nice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

After I couldn't find a recipe for chocolate sour cream pound cake, I made this recipe by combining three cake recipes and using some suggestions from my brother-in-law. It will stay moist for a week, but this cake is so good it won't last that long!

Not a traditional coffee cake, but a nice layer cake that's flavored with -- yep, you guessed it -- coffee. There's a light, fluffy coffee frosting too. Make one for the coffee lover in your life.
