Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup semolina
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 50 g butter melted
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • Candied fruits or raisins optional
  • Lemon or orange zest optional

Instructions
 

  • Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking pan to ensure an easy release of the cake after baking.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the semolina, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well mixed.
  • Add Melted Butter: Melt the butter and gently fold it into the semolina mixture, ensuring even distribution.
  • Incorporate Milk: Heat the milk until it is warm (not boiling) and then stir it into the mixture. Make sure everything is blended nicely.
  • Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat the eggs and mix them with the vanilla extract. Add this mixture to the bowl, combining everything thoroughly.
  • Optional Extras: If you’re feeling adventurous, add in your choice of candied fruits or some zest from a lemon or orange for an additional burst of flavor.
  • Bake: Pour your well-mixed batter into the greased mold and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until it's golden and firm to the touch.
  • Cool: After baking, allow the cake to cool in the pan for a while, then remove it carefully and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
