Semolina Cake with Rosewater Cream and Custard

We went to the hot springs and had the chance to take a break at the Keytha Cafe. A great place



Our favourite drink, Lemon Nana, is served there too. This one was the best of our tour so far. We did not have lunch today. A piece of cake sounded good to me.



The Rosewater cake sounded delicious. One slice for me,  please! I found it as a cake called Basbousa. Different flavours are used, like orange blossom water or rosewater or coconut. The origin is in Egypt, but the cake can be found all over the Middle East.

The base was a fluffy semolina base, not too sweet. Topped with a with pudding flavoured with rosewater. On top sat a nice thin layer of egg custard. That was caramelized under a burner. A dried rose flower stuck on top of it.
