Simple, nostalgic dessert made with fresh apricots, semolina, and a hint of vanilla. This easy-to-make cake is soft, fragrant, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 packet of vanilla sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup plain yogurt
1 cup semolina
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
A pinch of salt
10–12 fresh apricots (halved)
Powdered sugar for dusting
Preparation:
reheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt until light and frothy.
Add the oil and yogurt, mixing until smooth.
Gradually mix in the semolina, flour, and baking powder until the batter is smooth and slightly thick.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Arrange the apricot halves on top of the batter, cut side down.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
