HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat your oven to 350°F/175°C. Lightly grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.

02

In a large bowl, whisk together the semolina, flour, baking powder, and salt.

03

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, yogurt, vegetable oil, eggs, honey, and orange blossom water until well combined.

04

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

05

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

06

Bake for 30-35 minutes at 350°F/175°C, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

07

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
