Semolina Cake

This cake is kind of a cross between the famous Arabic Baboosa and the humble Soojee Halwa…..Since this is the baked version …I personally prefer this one instead of basboosa and soojee halwa as its more healthy and figure friendly :)

What you will need:

  • Eggs : 4
  • oil : 1 cup
  • sugar : 1 cup
  • vanilla essence : 1 tsp
  • Nestle cream ( original ) : 2 tins
  • Coconut Powder : 1 cup
  • Semolina ( soojee ) : 1 cup
  • Milk Powder : 1 cup
  • Baking powder : 2 tsp
How to do it :

  1. Beat oil and eggs together,now add sugar and cream and beat till smooth.lastly add 1 tsp vanilla essence and blend in.
  2. To this smooth mixture add coconut powder , soojee , milk powder and baking powder one after another.
  3. Whisk in all these till you get a smooth and creamy mixture.
  4. Pour this into a baking pan and bake for about 35 - 40 minutes on 180 centigrade or till set.
  5. Take out from the oven ...let it cool for about 15 minutes.
  6. Take out from the pan.Cut diamonds and sprinkle almonds and pistachio.
  7. Serve warm or chilled..tastes equally good either way.
Notes:
  • You can use kewra essence instead of vanilla to give more authentic paki flavor.
  • Instead of baking pan u can bake this in aluminum foil tins available in the market for ease of use.
