This cake was one we all loved at home when I was growing up in Egypt. I had misplaced my Mom's handwritten recipe but finally found it on my last visit to Egypt. Corn flour was never available in the stores but we got it from the farmers when we went to our farmhouse; they ground their own corn with a hand-operated grinding stone. This cake comes out moist with a sweet crinkly top. It can be served as is, with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
