Préparation
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all ingredients and measure the semolina, yogurt, sugar, vegetable oil, baking powder, cardamom powder, and salt. Chop nuts if using.
Cooking
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine semolina, yogurt, sugar, vegetable oil, baking powder, cardamom powder, and salt. Mix until the batter is smooth and creamy.
  2. Allow the batter to rest for about 15 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Grease a baking pan with oil or butter. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle chopped nuts if desired.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the cake cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.

Notes et conservation

For enhanced flavor, try toasting the semolina lightly before mixing. Variations include adding orange zest or incorporating fruits into the batter.
