This semolina cake drenched in simple syrup is so appetizing it’s mind-blowing. It takes the ordinary cake to a whole different level. It’s super moist, soft, and rich.
When you think it can’t get more tempting, you get hit with the crunchy texture of the amazingly delightful candied toasted almonds topping.
You might assume it’s complicated to make, but the opposite is true. It’s just as easy as making a simple cake.
All you need is the extra five minutes to make the syrup and caramelized almonds.
