Sambali

Şambali – Turkish Semolina Cake

A traditional Turkish semolina cake, also known in other parts of the Middle East as Basbousa, Şambali is wonderfully moist, syrupy and full of comforting flavour.

Made with semolina and baked until beautifully golden, the cake is soaked with a sweet syrup that works its way through the crumb, creating Şambali's distinctive soft, moist texture with a slightly grainy semolina bite.

Our version is made with added coconut, served with a generous cream topping and finished with crushed pistachios, bringing together the sweetness of the syrup-soaked cake with cool creaminess and a delicate nutty crunch.

Homemade in small batches.
