Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix coconut, semolina, yogurt, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until a thick batter forms.

  2. Step 2

    Spread batter into a greased 8-inch square baking pan. Smooth the top and score into 12 diamond-shaped pieces with a sharp knife.

  3. Step 3

    Press an almond sliver into the center of each piece. Bake for 18–20 minutes until edges turn golden brown.

  4. Step 4

    Warm honey with 2 tbsp water in a small saucepan over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring gently until combined.

  5. Step 5

    Pour warm honey syrup over the hot cake immediately after removing from oven. Let it soak for 3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Cut along the scored lines. Serve at room temperature or warm.
