Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free flour blend
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Fine cornmeal
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Anise seeds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Pine nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, fine cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, turmeric powder, and anise seeds. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until you obtain a smooth and uniform batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the pine nuts evenly over the top of the batter, pressing them slightly into the mixture so they adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the sfouf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice into squares or diamonds and serve. Enjoy this delightful gluten-free sfouf with a cup of coffee or tea.
