It is easy to prepare and does not require complex ingredients, making it accessible for every home baking enthusiast.
1
Pour 1 cup of semolina and 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of kefir (you can replace kefir with thick sour cream).
- Semolina: 1 glass
- Sugar: 1.5 glass
- Kefir: 1 glass
2
Let this mixture of semolina, sugar, and dairy products steep for about 1 hour. During this time, the semolina will swell, and the sugar will dissolve.

Add 2 eggs, 1 cup of flour, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the mixture. Whisk the dough well with a mixer.
- Chicken egg: 2 pieces
- Wheat flour: 1 glass
- Salt: pinch
- Soda: 1 teaspoon
4
For the blackberry sauce, blend 0.5 cup of sugar, banana, and sour cream.
- Blackberry: 300 g
- Sugar: 1.5 glass
- Bananas: 1 piece
- Sour cream: 1 tablespoon
5
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.

Grease the mold for the semolina cake with butter and sprinkle with semolina — this way the crust turns out better and is deliciously crispy. Pour a third of the batter into the mold, add a layer of sauce on top, then a third of the batter mixed with cocoa, and finally another third of the batter on top without cocoa.
- Semolina: 1 glass
- Cocoa powder: 2 tablespoons

Send the mold to the oven at 180 degrees for 40-50 minutes.
