Namoura

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 F.

2. 2

   Put the butter in the microwave-safe bowl, and heat 15 seconds at a time until mostly melted.

3. 3

   Mix farina, sugar and butter in a bowl.

4. 4

   Mix the baking soda and baking powder, then stir into the yogurt in another bowl. When mixed, add it to the farina mixture and blend together.

5. 5

   Grease the baking pan with a little shortening (or, to make it more authentic, 2 tablespoons tahini, which is sesame paste) and pour the batter in. (As an option, you can drizzle the top with 2 tablespoons of yogurt.)

6. 6

   Using a knife, score the top of the batter into medium-sized rectangles -- or to be a bit fancier, try diamond shapes! (You'll probably make 12-16 pieces.) Place a blanched almond in the middle of each piece.

7. 7

   Using your oven mitts, put the pan into the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until it's brown on top.

8. 8

   When the cake is done, take it out of the oven. Let it cool for 10 minutes while you clean up the kitchen.
