Semolina cake is one of my all-time favorite cakes. It´s very easy and fast to make, deliciously moist, rich and chewy. Without regular flour, sugar and oil it´s also secretly healthy. You can also make a chocolate ganache or add 1-2 spoons of cocoa to the cake batter to make it even fancier. If you are a fan of fudgy cake texture, you definitely won´t regret making it. Usually, I make the cake with grated apple, poppy seeds and raisins, but feel free to adjust the recipe to your own liking. Instead of an apple, you can add 1 grated carrot and some apple sauce or substitute the poppy seeds with more ground hazelnuts. It would also be great with dates instead of raisins and some chopped walnuts inside. You simply can´t go wrong with this cake, you don´t need a special technique or much time – just one bowl and handful of love.
