A very simple cake made with semolina and few other ingredients which will be easily available in your pantry. This is a super moist and delicious cake with an amazing texture.

Today I have a moist cake recipe for you. This is a cake which my mom makes for us. My mom used to bake a lot of cakes before, long before me and my sister started cooking. And her cakes are so simple but perfect. Sad part is that she doesn’t remember most of the recipes and lost many hand written ones.

Uma got this recipe from a YouTube channel and she wrote it down a year back or so. But she doesn’t remember the channel name. So I cannot give the proper source link. 🙁

But I really wanted to share the recipe with you all as this cake is too good. Lightly flavored and super moist. We are not adding vanilla essence in this, instead coconut milk powder is added giving the cake a very unique flavor. Please do try it out.

INGREDIENTS:

2 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup oil

2 tins (340g) nestle cream

4 1/2 tbsp coconut milk powder

1 cup semolina

1 tsp baking powder

Cashew nuts split in half from middle
