Steps

5-6 hrs (prep to dish)
  1. 1

    First up: Prepare the baking pan/tray with Butter Paper & greased with some Butter- Set aside...

  2. 2

    Then, in a mixing bowl: Mix up the aforesaid Dry Ingredients first, mix everything well together until nicely combined...

  3. 3

    Now, goes in the aforementioned Wet Ingredients to it & whisk well together until nicely combined & well incorporated

  4. 4

    Allow it to rest for at least 15-20 mins time, with a cover on- before pouring it out into the pre lined baking dish...This ensures the semolina to rise up well enough to make the final texture of the cake absolutely soft & fluffy

  5. 5

    In the baking dish/pan: You can decorate the same as per your choice (though, this step is optional)- I always prefer doing it with whichever Dry Fruits are available to me handy & can be sliced easily & faster

  6. 6

    Once done with that: Preheat the oven @180C....Checkout on the Soaked cake batter now, whisk well together once again....

  7. 7

    Pour it out into the Baking Pan/Dish...Put it in the preheated oven @180C, for about 25-30 mins time...temp. varies from oven to oven & so is the baking time...

  8. 8

    While the baking is going on: On the other hand- Let’s prepare the Sugar Syrup for the same- Refer to the aforementioned measurements & boil until the sugar just dissolves completely fine

  9. 9

    Turn off the flame now, let it cool down a bit but not completely at all, pls be mindful of that...

  10. 10

    It’s highly advisable to check it out once after 25 mins time & then, go about it accordingly as per your own oven Temp. Settings...For me, it’s perfectly baked out in exactly 26 mins time...

    Refer my pics: The toothpick/knife testing came out absolutely CLEAN & that’s VVI 👍🏻

  12. 12

    Let it rest inside the hot oven itself for about another 10 mins time & then, take it out of the oven- Put it on the cooling rack & allow it to cool down a bit too, not completely though, again- This is the key to this particular recipe outcome to be perfectly spongy, soft & fluffy enough

  13. 13

    I usually use the prepared sugar syrup in 2 batches: It’s not mandatory to do it that way but I’ve seen, once it soaks the first batch poured in immediately & then rested for sometime to absorb the same completely & then, when almost on the verge of cooling down completely- warm up the remaining sugar syrup a bit & then pouring into it

  14. 14

    The ultimate result is definitely exactly the way it should turn out to be...Soft, Fluffy & Extremely Spongy 👍🏻 Allow it to cool down completely now...

A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe-Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day’s call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that’s innate in her genes and tries to satiate the crowd- Be ANY, with all that 😊💁🏻‍♀️👍🏻
