About the dish

Meskouta is a traditional cake originating from Morocco. This orange and almond cake is made with a combination of almonds, eggs, sugar, honey, orange juice, lemon juice, orange flower water, oil, flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Once prepared, the batter is poured into a pan and baked until golden. This cake is traditionally prepared in the winter, when oranges ripen. It's often accompanied by hot mint tea or coffee on the side.
