Recipe: Sfoof, sesame cake from Lebanon
Dessert recipes with spices and herbs
December 16, 2009
 I tried many middle-eastern desserts, and I know that they're delicious, but I must admit that I'm always surprised when I try a new one.
Cook this cake from Lebanon, flavoured with anise, turmeric and sesame: it's really quick, simple and tasty.
It can be stored for a few days, and it's better to serve it warm.
