Hi Binnur, I lost my sister-in-law's lemon cake recipe and my daughter has requested it for her birthday which is next week. I remember some of the ingredients: yogurt,eggs,flour,baking power or soda? oil, and lemon zest. I don't remember the measurements. Maybe you have a similar recipe that you can post. My husband and kids love it! My version is to bake it in a bunt pan and then filling the hole with fresh fruit. Then I make a lemon glaze with powered sugar, water and lemon juice that I drizzel over the top. Thanks for all your great recipes! My family loves all the recipes that I have tried so far. My daughter even made a little song for you...."What's for dinner? Ask Binnur?"
Tammy
Hi Tammy:)
Thank you for the nice comment. I loved the song that your daughter
sings...please give her my best wishes for her birthday:) I only have one Lemon cake recipe. It might be the same as the one you had or not:) I understand you need it this coming week. That's why I am just writing it here for you. Your version seems so presentable and delicious:) I use whipped cream for top:)
6 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
6 egg yolks
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp lemon zest
1 cup yogurt
3 cups flour (cake flour would be better)
1 tsp baking soda
1 pinch salt
Mix the egg whites and 1/2 cup sugar until it's fluffy. Put aside.
Mix the butter, sugar, egg yolks, lemon juice, lemon zest and yogurt
in another cup. Slowly add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix.
Gently add egg whites in the sugar mixture and fold it. Pour it into
an oiled mold. Preheat oven to 400 F and bake until a toothpick comes
out clean.
I hope this helps:)
Sevgilerimle,
Merhaba Binnur abla,

Binnur
Merhaba Binnur,
I just discovered your website by chance last week and I think it's great! I am so impressed about your variety. No more worries about what to cook anymore. Thank you. Dear Binnur, I love to bake and am very good at it. However, I have been trying for years to create the perfect "Peynirli Kek" and never found the right recipe. You know the one that looks and feels like a cake and don't have a wet look when you cut it? The recipes with yogurt instead of milk sounds good. Do you or any of your talented readers have any recipe that I can use and finally accomplish this goal? If you do can you provide the measurements for Canada? Also what is the right amount of flour in "CUP" for "1 su bardagi" and what is the "gr. or cup" for "1 kucuk paket margarin"?
I appreciate your time, my best wishes and thank you,
Jan
Hi Jan,
Thank you:) I am going to post Peynirli Kek recipe in the future:)
On the right of the website there is a "Measurements" section. You will find all the answers you ask. 1 kucuk paket margarin, I believe, could be 125 gr?
Hi Binnur,
Do you recipe for the salt mahleb black seed cookies my old neighboor from Gazianteb used to make it?
Also do you have the recipe for pismaniye?
Thank you very much
Hi,
We use Mahlep for so many different kinds of pastries. I am not sure which one you are asking for. Try this recipe;

Hi Binnur
Do you have a recipe for mantarli kurabiye? The ones that are made with cornstarch instead of flour? I raelly love them but I couldn't decipher the recipe from my Turkish friends, my Turkce just isn't that good!
Jennifer
Hi Jeniffer,
Yes, I have a recipe for Mantar Kurabiye:) I am going to post it in the future.
Hi,
I just found your site yesterday and really like that you have all these recipes in English, I was looking for a simple basic chocolate cake. I know the consistency of it is different from the cakes here in the USA. Do you have one that you can post?
Hi,
I am going to post in the future more cake recipes includes chocolate cake.
I'm sort of in a rush for a chocolate cake recipe do you know when you plan to post one?
Hi,
I am not sure yet.

Hi Binnur, I wanted to know if u could tell me how to make the turkish baklava (in a cigar shape), what would i use for the filling and how would i make the syrup?? i have tried a wet/syrupy baklava before, but want to try one that was a little dryer...please help thanks.
Emma
Hi Emma,
I've posted some desserts recipes with the syrup. Please check the Dessert Recipes section on the right side of my blog. You can always use less amount of syrup for the desserts:)I am going to more in the future:)
Take care,
Hello! This site is amazing! I just returned from living in Istanbul-I can't wait to make these recipes so I can relive my time there. I am curious about ay çoreği recipes. They were my favorite treat. Çok teşekkür ederim Bınnur!
Hi,Merheba Binnur
I am from Pakistan. I want one of your best chocolate cake reipes.Me my family love it but sometimes my cake becomes less soft.I want it to be perfect.Please help me with this.Teşekkürler Binnur!
Hi Anka,
I didn't post it yet. I am going to post it in the future:)
If the cake you bake is not soft, try to put a little bit less amount of flour.
Sevgilerimle,
WOW thankyou so much, this website really helps me with a food assingment i have. I love turkish so when we go to pick a country Turkey was the first one that came to my mind. Now i've found your website i might try to make some of these recipes, thanks again :)

It was great to find this site.

Turkish food ...

cookie, some stuffing of walnut ..
syrus was poured over ...

Dont know the name and want to find out how to make it ...
Thanks a lot.
Hi. I love your website. one of my Turkish colleagues made a syrup cake on Eid ul Fitr which was absolutely yummy. I dont remember the name but it was a syrup cake with black poppy seeds and a light green colour topped with sweetened fresh cream. Wondering if you would be able to match a recipe to my rather sketchy description. would love to try and bake it myself
regards
Sarah
Dear Binnur; love your site, it's helpful, interesting and quite tasty!
I was at a yard sale today and found a mould for a cookie. It looks like the amulet against the evil eye. It's carved from wood, and looks like a glorified spoon.
How do I use it? I like the shortbread recipe, can I use it with the mould?
Thank you very much! Be well,
David
Hi David,
There is another recipe that the carved wood spoon was used for. So I think you can use theTurkish Shortbread recipe:)
Hi Binnur
I live in Canada too,and my late grandmother was a Turkish Cypriot.
I love your site and would like to try some of your recipes soon.My grandmother used to make a dessert called percem for us.It's a dough stuffed with walnuts and baked then soaked in sugar syrup.Do you have the recipe?
Really appreciate it if you could pass it to me.
Najat
Hi Najat,
I may post it in the future:)
Hey Binnur, i've tried some of your recipes and their fantastic :) Keep it up
I was wondering if you have a nice recipe for apple crumble that you can post.

Merhaba Binnur!!

Hello Binnur,
Do you happen to have any recipe for a sponge birthday cake?Im looking for one with alcoholfree syrup and a cream. Best wishes, anne
Ablacim ben Ceren irlandaden Benim oglumun dugum gunu var 9 yasina gircek haklina Birsey varmi kek olarak
Oglunun 9. yas gunu kutlu olsun, saglikli, basarili ve mutlu yillara Cerencigim:)
Ilk aklima gelen "Cukulatali Pudding Kaplamali Kek". Oglum her zaman cukulatali kek istedigi icin her halde:) Eger meyveli hafif bir kek istersen "Limonlu Kek", oglunun sevdigi meyveler ve krem santi ile susleyebilirsin...Diger bir alternatif de, "Ispanakli Kek"
Tekrar mutluluklar diliyorum:)
Hi Binnur,
Do you have a recipe for basic yogurt tatlisi? My mom used to make it without any oil or butter, it was so delicious. Thank you.
Merhaba Sedef,
Lezzetli ve hafif tatlilarimizdn bir tanesi...senin icin yayinlayacagim:)
Hello What is the most popular sponge cake in turkey? Do turkish women make sponge cakes at home?
Hello,
Sure, they do:)
The Turkish cuisine has the seasonal kitchen. So they make the cake with
the fruits available in the season. It can be strawberry, banana, raspberry, etc.
Hi
I was wondering if you have a recipe for Kaymakli Lokum. I see lots of recipes on the web for standard lokum but none for lokum made with clotted cream. I suspect that this is a specialist recipe so not the kind of thing even a great Turkish cook would know how to make. But I live in hope and a part of the world where buying lokum is not an option.
Hi,
I have not posted any special recipes that belong to Ottoman and Turkish cuisine yet.
I am not sure I will ever post them; like lokum, kaymakli lokum, ekmek kadayifi etc.
I think we should keep some of the original recipes for ourselves for their protection:)
Take care,
so wonderful - whenever i'm at a loss for what to make for dinner, i stop in at your website and get great new ideas - thank you, and elinize saglik!
do you have any plans in the future for posting a recipe for hashasli kek? i've tried making it a few times, but it never quite seems to work out perfectly, and i'd love to get your take on it!
-jenna
Tesekkur ederim Sevgili Jenna:) I am going to post it in the future:)

Binnur's Turkish Cookbook
https://www.facebook.com/turkishcookbook
Hello. I recently had a delicious coconut Turkish dessert and I have no idea what it is called. It was the size of a small cookie. It had a soft white coconut round center and it was rolled in coconut. I do not think it was Turkish delight. Do you know what this might be called and do you have a recipe that you might share? Thanks, Kathy
Hi Kathy,
Yes, it is not lokum, but it's called lokum kurabiye. I am going to post it for you in the future:)
Hi Binnur,
I recent;y visited Turkey and had an incredible trip. ONe of my favourite snacks to nibble on while I walked around the city was there small round and hard chocolate biscuits that were filled with a chocolate cream on the inside and I found at several bakeries. I was not able to get the name though. DO you know what they are called and where I might find a recipe?
Hi
I think what you ask is Biskrem cookies. I haven't posted the recipe yet.
Hi binnur could you please give us a recipe for 'islak kek'. Thanks in advance:)
