My husband is greek, his favorite dessert is galaktoboureko..which is a semolina based desert custard in phyllo.I thought of a semolina based dessert without phyllo..Enjoy!

My mom used to always make these cakes but in our culture its called "basbousa" and sometimes she used to add yoghurt with it but I just wanted to keep the ingredients simple.

I came across this recipe on the internet when I was looking for semolina cake recipe. In my first attempt I followed the recipe step by step, but unfortunately the cake turned out very dry. So, I made orange syrup and poured it on top, I thought the syrup would make the cake moist. The cake was nice and moist with orange syrup, but it had to be eaten as quick as possible, because it turned bad the next day.So, in this recipe I have made some adjustments where I reduced the amount of flour and sugar in it and added extra almond powder. I used orange juice instead of milk and added orange zest. The cake turned out very nice, moist with slightly orange flavored.

A very light and easy cake

Good with coffee

Can be served multiple ways. Personal favorite is served in the fashion of a shortcake topped with whipped cream and macerated strawberries like in the picture shown.
