Sudanese Baseema

Ingredients:

5 eggs

180 g icing sugar

180 ml butter or oil

500 ml yoghurt

2 tsp baking powder

350 g flour

1 tsp vanilla extract

120 g grated coconut

260 g sugar

1 tbsp lemon juice

250 ml water

Cooking Instructions:

Beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the oil and yoghurt and stir to combine. Sift the flour and baking powder into a separate bowl then mix-in the coconut before adding this mix slowly to the egg mix, stirring rapidly to combine. Spread the mixture onto a well-greased tray and place in an oven pre-heated to 200C and bake for about 30 minutes, or until nicely golden. Meanwhile, combine the sugar, lemon juice and water in a pan and bring to a boil, cooking until the syrup thickens. When the cake is baked, remove from the oven and pour the syrup slowly over the top, allowing it to soak into the cake.
