The first time I made this, I failed to check that a knife comes out clean. Sadly, I had to throw it out! My second attempt was successful. In lieu of ghee, I used 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil. I left out the Maghreb and used anise seed exclusively since that's what I had. We're an American family who has little exposure to middle eastern desserts. My mother absolutely loves this cake. Now we too have a reason to wait for blood oranges 🍊 Thank you, Suzanne! ❤
I'm so happy to hear that! Experience is the best teacher. I've got many more Arabic desserts coming soon on my channel that I hope your whole family will love :)
@@SuzanneHusseini Thank you Suzanne for your prompt reply. So funny as my husband just came home with some Cara Cara oranges. They are sweet and juicy and look like blood oranges. Now on the hunt 👀at my local Arab grocery store for the mahlab. Can't wait to make this cake and I'll let you know how it turns out.
Hi Suzanne. I made the cake just now and I didn't have enough cake flour at disposal so I opted for AP. The batter came out on the thicker side - more like banana bread. Was this because I didn't use cake flour?
It is just equal parts sugar and water with 1 tbs lemon juice and boiled together until sugar dissolves. I will sometimes add a little bit of rosewater and/or orange blossom water which is optional!
It’s a new version! Fusion, sure will make it tomorrow. U impressed me. Wish I could meet u
Love sfoof , thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Looks yummy and may be a birthday cake for me today since I bake my own treat.
Great idea! Happy Birthday to you!

Can you make this with regular oranges? Love all your recipes ❤
Thank you Cynthia! Yes you can absolutely use regular oranges. I just love using blood oranges because of their beautiful unique color patterns.

@@cynthiagarofalo3458 You're right, they do look just like blood oranges. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Hi Maryam.
You can use all purpose or cake flour interchangeably .
The batter shouldn’t be too liquid.
How was it after baking?
As a first timer making it, I think it was a success nonetheless. :)
I wonder how roughly chopped pistachios would do instead of pine nuts or almonds…
I've never tried that but it could work!
How do you make the sirop ? Thanks 🙏
It is just equal parts sugar and water with 1 tbs lemon juice and boiled together until sugar dissolves. I will sometimes add a little bit of rosewater and/or orange blossom water which is optional!
Sorry I see them on the screen..
Thx ♥️
3/4 c clarified butter seems a bit too much since my mixture was gooey instead of the pastry texture in the video.
It is the right amount.
When you add the liquids and beat it becomes creamy and fluffy.
