Namora (Semolina Cake - Baklava)

1. 1

   Cream the butter and one cup sugar. Stir in a 1/2 cup water.

2. 2

   Sift together the semolina, baking powder, and stir into the butter mixture to form a smooth batter.

3. 3

   Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F.

4. 4

   Lightly grease an 8-by-12-inch cake pan and pour in the batter. Spread it evenly with the back of a spoon and then score across the top of the cake. Place an almond in the center of each diamond.

5. 5

   Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, when the cake should be firm and lightly browned.

6. 6

   Combine three cups sugar, lemon juice, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Cool.

7. 7

   Pour cooled syrup, spoonfuls at a time, over the hot cake. Stop when the cake will not absorb any more and set the cake aside to cool before serving.
