Semolina lemon cake is a very tasty, quick, and easy-to-make pie. This time, we will add just one ingredient to the usual recipe, which will greatly transform the taste and aroma of the pastry. We are talking about lemon zest. Everyone who likes citrus notes in desserts will really like this version of the semolina cake.
Pour kefir over the semolina, stir with a whisk and leave for 15 minutes.
160 g semolina, 200 g kefir
Grate the lemon zest on a fine grater (only remove the yellow part, the white part is bitter). Send it to the bowl with semolina and kefir.
1 pc lemon
Add refined sunflower oil and granulated sugar. Mix well.
100 g vegetable oil, 180 g sugar
Introduce the last ingredients — sifted flour and baking powder. Mix thoroughly.
130 g wheat flour, 5 g baking powder
Transfer the dough into an 18 cm diameter form. Line the bottom and sides with silicone-coated parchment paper.
Send the pie to an oven preheated to 180 °C. The approximate baking time is 30—40 minutes. Always check for readiness with a wooden skewer — if it comes out of the pie dry, it means it is baked through inside.
Remove the semolina cake from the form and transfer it to a rack. After cooling, sprinkle it with a small amount of powdered sugar, cut into portioned pieces, and serve. Enjoy your tea party!
