Mix the first 3 ingredients, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes to make the syrup.
Put the remaining ingredients in a bowl, mix well and let soak for a few minutes. Then spread on a greased, flat dish (the cake shouldn`t get that high, about 2-3 cm is ideal). Garnish with walnuts or almonds if you like.
Bake in the preheated oven at 180 ° C until the color is golden yellow (make a stick test).
After baking, pour the syrup over it immediately and let it cool down.
It is best to cut into lozenges for serving.
Tip: I only use 1 glass of sugar for the syrup and 1/2 glass of sugar in the cake, that`s enough.
I got this recipe from a course at the community college, the teacher was not a trained cook, but an Arab who liked to cook. This cake is ingeniously simple and delicious (and sticky to eat), and it contains no fat or eggs.
