I have been thinking of posting this recipe for a long time as its one of my favorite and tastes so good. It is a recipe which is sure to be a super-hit with your guests because of one secret ingredients i.e. Semolina. It gives the cake a little different texture than a normal sponge which I am in love with.
Ingredients
Semolina - 1 cup
Self raising flour - 1/2 cup
yogurt - 1 cupSugar - 3/4 cup
Oil - 1/2 cup
Orange juice - 1/2 cup
baking powder - 1 teaspoon
baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon
Lemon essence - a few drops (optional)
Recipe:
In a mixing bowl, take semolina in a bowl and keep aside.
Now take another bowl and mix sugar, oil, orange juice together with an electric whisk for 10 seconds. You may add lemon essence at this point.
Sift self raising flour, baking powder and baking soda together.
Preheat the oven at 180 degrees centigrade.
Mix semolina and the liquid mixture together with an electric whisk for another 10 seconds.
Add the sifted flour together and mix well.
Mixture will be a pouring consistency of something like this.
Prepare the baking tin and line it with butter paper.
Pour in into the baking tin and inside preheated oven for 30 minutes to get done.
When its ready it will have a lovely golden brown color at the top, and when you prick it with a knife, it will come very clean and that is the sign that it has been cooked from inside as well.
Put it on a cooling wire rack and then when ready cut it into pieces and serve.
