how to cook Best Yogurt Semolina Cake?

STEP 1

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C (350⁰F). In a medium bowl, combine flour, semolina, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Give it a good mix.

STEP 2

In a large bowl, crack the eggs and add sugar. Use a mixer to beat them until they become a fluffy pale mass. It should look light and airy.

STEP 3

Now, gradually add the flour mixture to the egg-sugar mixture. Alternate with yogurt, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Use the mixer at low speed to blend everything until it becomes a smooth dough.

STEP 4

Next, pour in the melted butter into the sugar-flour mixture. This will add richness and flavor to the dough.

TIPS: Melt your butter either on the stove or in the microwave – whichever is more convenient for you.

TIPS: Instead of using butter, you can opt for good quality margarine. It works just as well! But keep in mind that margarine contains salt. So, you might want to reduce the amount of salt in the recipe. Just a little heads up!

STEP 5

Then, gently mix in the candied pineapple. Let the dough sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

STEP 6

Grease a 22cm x 22cm square baking tin with butter and dust it with flour. Pour the dough into the prepared tin and use a spatula to smooth the top.

TIPS: For added texture and flavor, sprinkle semolina on the buttered baking tin instead of flour.

STEP 7

Place the tin with the dough into the preheated to 180°C (350⁰F) oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until it turns a beautiful golden brown. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist!

STEP 8

Once it’s done, let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes. This will make it easier to remove.

STEP 9

After that, carefully take it out of the tin and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

TIPS: Wondering if your cake is ready? Stick a wooden stick or toothpick into the center – if it comes out clean, your cake is done.

TIPS: To stabilize an inverted cake, use a bread knife with a serrated blade to cut off the top.

STEP 10

To add a touch of elegance, decorate the finished cake with whipped cream and sprinkle some candied pineapple on top. It will make it look even more tempting.

TIPS: You have a variety of options when it comes to decorating the cake – you can use buttercream, whipped white eggs, custard, or any other cream you like.

STEP 11

Now, it’s time to enjoy your creation! Cut Best Yogurt Semolina Cake into equal pieces and serve it with a steaming cup of tea. Bon appétit!
