    Thumbs up Something different with Semolina

    Here is a cake from either Turkey or Greece that my Cypriot mother-in-law makes, it is awesome.

    Just remember to use the one cup/glass for all the measurements.

    SHAMALI

    pre-heat oven
    F Gas C
    375 4 190


    prepare syrup

    2 cups sugar
    3 cups cold water
    boil with a cinnamon stick
    and a couple of cloves


    cake

    1 cup sugar
    1 cup sunflower/corn oil
    4 eggs beaten
    3 cups semolina
    3 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp vanilla essence
    1 small carton plain yoghurt(150mls=8oz)

    decorate
    sliced almonds

    mix all the ingredients together and pour into a baking tin.10"x6"
    put sliced almonds on the top in straight lines a couple of inches
    apart(portion size)
    bake in a moderate oven for 35-45mins until golden brown and firm.
    cool for approx 10mins and score into squares(2"x2")pour in the syrup
    and let it settle for a while before taking out the slices.

    my husband says it is better next day when the syrup has settled but.... it rarely lasts that long.
    If i try to store i use large muffin cases for each square.

    enjoy
    luv jacquie
