Orange Almond Semolina Cake Recipe | Suji Cake Recipe

Orange Semolina Cake - It’s like some butter cake but different texture. It has a chewy feeling. It’s super moist, soft and fluffy. The aroma of the citrus orange flavour really bring out the flavour of the cake, well balanced with the heavy butter taste. If you have tried my ultimate butter recipe, you have to try this. Steps are almost the same as butter cake, but only thing you need to know something about semolina flour and I will show you how to deal with it in this video. I hope you’re inspired to make this ultimate cake recipe. Enjoy!
FOR FULL RECIPE, please visit my blog at gracioustreatz...
Ingredients:
I am using 7x7-inch pan
2 oranges (for zest and juice)
150ml (1/2 cup + 2 tbsp) orange juice
160g (1 cup) fine semolina flour
100g (3/4 cup) plain flour
30g (1/4 cup) almond flour/meal
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
226g (1 cup) unsalted butter
180g (3/4 cup + 2 tbsp) fine sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 orange zest
1 tbsp orange juice
Cake top:
40g (1/2 cup) almond flakes
Instructions:
1. Grate and squeeze the orange zest and juice respectively. Set aside.
2. Soak the semolina flour and let it rest for about 30min or while you are preparing the other ingredients.
3. Sift all the dry ingredients: plain flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt.
4. In a large bowl, add butter (softened) and sugar. Mix them until creamy, fluffy and pale.
5. Add the eggs, one at a time. Mix until combined.
6. Add in the soaked semolina flour. It’s normal that the semolina and orange mixture is thick. Using an electric mixer. Mix until combined.
7. Add the sifted dry ingredients in 2 batches, alternate with the 1 tbsp of orange juice. Use a spatula to fold in the dry ingredients, as we do not want to over mix.
8. Transfer the batter to a 7x7-inch prepared pan, greased and lined with parchment paper.
9. Use an offset spatula to spread the surface evenly.
10. Spread and sprinkle the almond flakes covering the top of the cake.
11. Bake in preheated oven at 180°C/355°F for about 50-55min or until the inserted skewer comes out clean.
12. Let the cake cool completely before cutting and serving.

I enjoyed this video so much not only because of the delicious recipe (I will certainly make it), but because there was no background music, which sometimes are so loud that if I lower the volume I can't hear the person speaking. And also because the did not speak at all! Felt like watching one of those ASMR type of videos; very soothing and calming, while thinking "that looks so delicious!" Thank you very much.

Hi Fiona! I like so much how it looks moist and soft! This is very important for a semolina cake because it has a rustic texture. Those crumbles are simply perfect!! You're a pro at baking cakes, you get always perfect results 😍

That looks so soft and super moist! I always loved orange flavour in cake but adding almond just livens it up a lot! You always know what flavours to combine in a cake and I admire that a lot! Have a beautiful day! ♥️

[@jaspalkaur2015]

I just made it today. Reduced the sugar to 130g added some almond nibs it turned out good. Just the samolina crunch is still there. Might need to add more orange juice to soak it i suppose. Overall its moist and tasty samolina cake with the orange is amazing. 😋.

Hello Fiona just made the orange semolina cake today it was a bit heavy but still had a nice taste thanks for the recipe greetings from Dublin Patricia 🇮🇪

[@gracioustreatz7231]

Hi Patricia, it is great hearing from you. If you find it heavy, perhaps, soak the semolina slightly longer like 15 more minutes or so due to different manufacturing process. When it is well soaked, it will give you a lighter texture overall. Hope this helps ☺️
