Semolina Cake (Eurasian Recipe) image

This is a wonderful cake which is a dying recipe. Why dying cos...it's a eurasian recipe...a cross between a almond and a butter cake. But because it is such a well kept secret....the recipe is dying cos so few people have it now. Try it.., it's quite dense though i must warn ya. Eurasians are a race people in asia call Kids of european and asian decent. Usually made for eurasian weddings. :)

This semolina cake was a bit of a let down. It was dry and crumbly, and the flavor was just okay. I won't be making this cake again.

I found this semolina cake to be a bit bland. It needed more spices or extracts to give it more flavor.
