Healthy Semolina Cake

Healthy Semolina Cake

A lightweight, nutrient‑rich cake that satisfies sweet cravings while supporting balanced blood sugar and digestive health.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole semolina
• 1/2 cup almond milk (unsweetened)
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup natural maple syrup
• 2 eggs, lightly whisked
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: 1/4 cup grated apple or carrot for extra crunch

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8‑inch round cake pan with a little coconut oil.
2. In a large bowl combine semolina, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until even.
3. In another bowl whisk almond milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until blended.
4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; if using apple or carrot, fold in now.
5. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes. Cake is done when a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
7. Serve warm or at room temperature. Drizzle a touch of honey if desired.

Health Tip: Swapping maple syrup for raw honey or stevia keeps the glaze low glycemic, and using almond milk reduces dairy calories while adding a subtle nutty flavor.
