Orange blossom semolina cake is a sweet, moist, and dense dessert that originated in the Middle East and is popular in many Mediterranean countries. It is made with semolina flour, which gives it a unique texture, and is flavored with orange blossom water, which adds a subtle floral aroma and flavor.
The cake is typically made by combining semolina flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and orange blossom water are whisked together, and then added to the dry ingredients. The batter is mixed until just combined and then poured into a greased cake pan. The cake is then baked until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once cooled, the cake can be served as is or topped with a simple syrup made with sugar, water, and more orange blossom water. This adds a deliciously sweet and syrupy texture to the cake. Orange blossom semolina cake can be served as a dessert or with tea or coffee for a delicious afternoon treat.
