Directions
Middle Eastern Coconut Cake (Harissah), If you love coconut macaroons, you will love this dish This recipe is incredibly easy This recipe yields a very moist cake that is traditional in the Jordanian/ Palestinian region This recipe is different than the traditional harissa (also known as basbousa) which is made has semolina or cream of wheat as the main ingredient I love coconut macaroons which this reminds me of, but in a cake like form This is always a hit when i have company If you cannot find unsweetened coconut, use regular sweetened and reduce sugar and use about 1 1/2-1 3/4 cup for the batter , This coconut cake was ok, but not much else I added rose water which I think improved the flavour, however I found this recipe was far too sweet for my taste and this cake isn’t something I crave Might make it again with less sugar Additionally, that cake was still mushy & jiggling (stick inserted into centre came out wet) after 30mins of bake time and I baked it for another 30mins or so , Is it suppost to be liquidy on the inside after 30 min?
