ABOUT Eggless Semolina Cake RECIPE

This is an Eggless Semolina Cake that I tried out for the first time today. It is almost similar to Basbousa - a Middle Eastern delicacy. It is very easy to make and it turned out absolutely perfect and delicious. Have them as an after-meal dessert or as a teatime snack.

Ingredients Serving: 5

Semolina (sooji) 1 cup
Pinch of salt
Cardamom powder 1/4 teaspoon
Castor sugar 1/2 cup
Melted butter / oil 1/3 cup
Yoghurt 1/2 cup
Pistachios, sliced or any dry fruits 1 tablespoon
Milk 1/2 cup
Cherries chopped 1 tablespoon
Pinch of saffron
Baking powder 1/2 teaspoon
Baking soda 1/4 teaspoon
Oil to grease the cake pan
Some extra cherries and pistachios to garnish

Instructions

In a bowl mix together semolina, salt, cardamom powder and sugar. Then add in the butter, followed by the yoghurt and milk. Combine everything well and leave aside for 15-20 minutes.
Adjust the consistency and add more milk if required. The batter should be of pouring consistency.
Lastly add in the pistachios, cherries, baking powder and baking soda. Mix well and pour into a greased cake tin.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C. for 30-35 minutes. Set aside to cool down. Garnish with sliced cherries and pistachios.
Then cut into desired shapes and enjoy as an after-meal dessert. For more variation, it can be served with a drizzle of some rabri over it.
