Semolina milk soaked cake is a classic dessert that is both delicious and easy to make. It is made with semolina flour, which is a type of coarse wheat flour, and is soaked in milk before being baked. This gives the cake a moist and tender crumb, and a slightly nutty flavor. The cake can be served plain or with a variety of toppings, such as fruit, nuts, or whipped cream.

NAMOURA (SYRUP-SOAKED SEMOLINA CAKE)



Namoura (Syrup-Soaked Semolina Cake) image

Amanda Saab, a social worker and home cook who lives near Detroit, riffs on her Lebanese grandmother's recipe for namoura, a cake made from semolina flour, soaked in syrup while it's still warm. When she serves it at iftar dinners during Ramadan, Ms. Saab often doses the syrup with a little bit of lavender extract. You could follow her lead, or use another floral note like vanilla or rose. The cake has no eggs, but this version gets its rich flavor and texture from aerated yogurt, which goes bubbly within minutes of being mixed with a little baking soda.

Time 1h

Yield 20 to 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups/400 grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/4 teaspoons lavender extract, vanilla extract or rose water
3/4 cup/170 grams unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), melted, plus more for coating the pan
3 cups/490 grams semolina flour
3/4 cup/150 grams granulated sugar
1 cup/227 grams plain whole-milk yogurt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 cup/29 grams slivered almonds

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over high heat, boil sugar and 1 cup/240 milliliters of water, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Reduce the heat to a simmer, add lemon juice and extract, and stir to combine. Simmer until thickened into a syrup, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter. Place the semolina, melted butter and sugar in a large bowl and stir until well combined; set aside.
  • Place the yogurt and baking soda in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Set aside until the mixture has nearly doubled in size, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour the yogurt mixture over the semolina mixture and mix well to combine. Transfer to the buttered baking dish and press into an even layer. Using a knife, score the surface of the namoura on the diagonal into 2-inch diamond-shaped pieces. Top each diamond in the center with an almond. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Place baking dish on a wire rack and drizzle the cooled syrup over the top of the hot namoura. Let cool to room temperature before recutting along the scored lines and serving.

Caramel-Topped Semolina Cake image

Food writer Dorie Greenspan was inspired to create this cake after tasting a similar custard-like dessert in a Parisian bistro. This dish appears in her cookbook "Around My French Table."

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 10

Creme Anglaise
2 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup farina or Cream of Wheat
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup plump, moist golden raisins or other dried fruits cut into small pieces
Scant 1/2 cup sugar
Squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees with a rack set in the center.
  • Make the cake: Place milk and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat; immediately reduce heat and stir in farina. Cook according to package directions, stirring and adjusting heat as necessary, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in sugar and vanilla; let stand until cooled slightly, about 15 minutes.
  • Make the caramel: Place an 8-inch round cake pan in oven to preheat. Place sugar, 1/4 cup water, and lemon juice in a small skillet or saucepan over high heat. Stir until sugar is moist and bring to a boil. As sugar begins to caramelize, carefully swirl pan to heat sugar evenly. Cook until sugar begins to turn dark amber in color, about 5 minutes. Remove cake pan from oven and pour caramel into pan, tilting pan to evenly coat; set aside.
  • Stir eggs and raisins into farina mixture and pour into prepared cake pan. Transfer to oven and bake until firm, puffed up, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes.
  • Invert a rimmed serving plate over cake pan and, working carefully (caramel will be very hot), turn pan over onto plate and lift it off; caramel will run down the sides of the cake. Let cake cool to room temperature before serving.

ISABELLE'S SEMOLINA CAKE

Provided by Susan Herrmann Loomis

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup (150 grams) plus 6 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon unsalted butter, melted
3 large eggs
4 cups (1 liter) milk
1 vanilla bean, split down its length
Pinch of sea salt
3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon (120 grams) semolina
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 cup (75 grams) raisins

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200 °C). Have ready a 6-cup (1 1/2 l) soufflé dish or charlotte mold.
  • 2. Make the caramel: Place the 6 tablespoons sugar in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat. It will gradually dissolve, and as it does so, swirl it around in the pan. When it is a pale caramel color, after 4 to 5 minutes, quickly pour it into the mold, swirling the mold so the caramel completely covers the bottom. Use the pastry brush to brush the sides of the mold with the melted butter.
  • 3. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl until they are blended and set aside.
  • 4. Place the milk, 3/4 cup (150 g) sugar, and vanilla bean in a medium-size heavy saucepan. Stir, and heat over medium heat until the milk is steaming and small bubbles have formed around the edges. Immediately remove from the heat, cover and let infuse for 10 minutes. Then remove the vanilla bean, rinse it well, and reserve it for another use.
  • 5. Return the milk to medium heat, and when small bubbles have formed around the edges, add the salt and the semolina, lightly sprinkling the semolina over the milk and stirring constantly. Continue to stir constantly as the semolina cooks (it will thicken dramatically), until it has become like a paste, at least 10 minutes.
  • 6. Remove the semolina from the heat and whisk in the eggs until they are thoroughly combined. Then whisk in the nutmeg and stir in the raisins.
  • 7. Pour the mixture into the prepared mold and bake in the center of the oven until the cake is puffed and golden, 45 minutes.
  • 8. Remove the mold from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Then unmold the cake onto a serving platter.
