    what is semolina cake?

    If you wonder what is a semolina cake, it is super delicious but simple cake made using semolina flour. The flour used is slightly course semolina flour and this is very different from the regular all purpose flour used for baking cakes. As a result, the texture of the cake is unique and it is very soft and moist.

    Semolina cakes are known for their soft melt in mouth texture which is because of the semolina flour that we use to make the cake. The addition of yogurt makes the cake even more soft in texture, fluffy and delicious!

    It is really easy to make a semolina cake and unlike the cakes made using all purpose flour or regular wheat flour, baking a semolina cake will almost never fail so it is an easy cake recipe for beginners to try as well.

    is this semolina cake gluten free?

    No, semolina cake is not gluten free since semolina flour is kind of wheat flour itself though the texture is quite different.

    can you make this semolina cake vegan?

    Yogurt and milk are necessary ingredients in this semolina cake but if you are vegan or if you have dairy allergy, you may try any vegan yogurt in place of regular yogurt and also try to replace the milk with coconut milk or cashew milk. However, the flavors can vary when you use other options based on what you are using. You can also replace the butter with oil (I suggest a neutral flavored oil like canola oil). I haven't tried it with vegan replacements so I can't say how it will turn out. But I really think it will work if you replace the ingredients carefully!

      Can I use curd instead of yogurt

        Curd shoud also work, I think. Just make sure to use fresh, thick curd with a smooth texture that's not too sour for the best results. It's good to mix it well using a spoon to remove any lumps before using. Thank you.

      Hello. And good day. I would like to try out this recipe. I have 2 questions. Can I replace the sugar by using Sweetener? And can I use flaked almonds for the topping? Can I add melon seeds to this cake?

        Hello! I am glad you want to try this recipe. With regards to your questions, I am sure you can use flaked almonds for topping if you wish. I am not sure about using melon seeds here, but if you used melon seeds in cakes before, you may try and see. You may replace the sugar with brown sugar or palm sugar or similar sweeteners like coconut sugar or jaggery if you wish though it may slightly affect teh flavors. I am not sure about using a liquid sweetener, because that may change the ratio of ingredients and may or may not work. You may need to adjust the recipe and see if it works. Hope you try this and see if the changes worked for you! Thank you so much for reading & trying this recipe!
