Ingredients

• 200 grams Semolina
• 50 grams All-purpose flour
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cardamom
• 2 large Eggs
• 250 milliliters Milk (for batter)
• 100 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 200 milliliters Sweetened condensed milk
• 300 milliliters Whole milk (for soaking)
• 2 tablespoons Pistachios (chopped, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine semolina, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and ground cardamom. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring constantly to form a thick, lump-free batter.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the cake is baking, prepare the milk soaking mixture by combining whole milk and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly warm. Do not boil.

Step 8

Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan.

Step 9

Using a skewer or fork, poke small holes all over the surface of the warm cake.

Step 10

Slowly pour the warm milk mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak into the cake completely.

Step 11

Let the cake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to fully absorb the milk.

Step 12

Before serving, garnish the top of the cake with chopped pistachios and shredded coconut.

Step 13

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Semolina Milk Soaked Cake!
