Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 30 ~ 35 minutes
Serves: 9 X 13 inch pan
Adapted from here
Ingredients
For the cake
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
½ cup fresh yogurt @ room temp or you can use 2 eggs for egg version
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups fine yellow semolina ( I used white semolina )
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
For the syrup
1 cup sugar
½ cup honey
1 cup water
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Line it with parchment paper and grease the parchment paper too.
2. Cream the butter and the sugar using a handheld or an electric mixer until you get a creamy texture. Then carefully beat in the curd (or eggs) and the milk, since they’ll splash. Add the vanilla. The batter will look curdled at this point, but don’t worry.
3. In a second, smaller bowl, whisk together the semolina, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sprinkle over the butter-egg mixture and beat just until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, just until the cake is firm and slightly golden. It should also just start to pull away from the edges of the pan.
4. While the cake is baking, make the syrup: combine the sugar, honey, and water, and stir with a fork to dissolve some of the sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to make sure the sugar and honey dissolve. Lower the heat slightly and simmer for 5 minutes, until the syrup has thickened.
5. As soon as you take the cake out of the oven, pour the syrup slowly over the hot cake, stopping when the cake can absorb no more syrup. Cool, then cut into 24 squares, and serve.
