Basbousa Recipe By Food Fusion

I tried this basbousa recipe by food fusion and this recipe is my favorite now. Even after 3 days, the cake was soft and moist.
Basbousa is a traditional Middle Eastern sweet cake. It is made from a semolina batter and sweetened with rose water simple syrup. It is so soft that it just melts in your mouth. This recipe is must try. Here are some other baking recipes.
