Semolina cake with yogurt and milk chocolate is a tender and airy pie from Russian cuisine, known for its simplicity and rich flavor. Its base is semolina, which makes the dough soft and slightly crumbly, while fruit yogurt adds a light tanginess and freshness. This dessert is perfect for a cozy tea time or breakfast due to its lightness and sweetness. The main highlight is the milk chocolate that melts on the hot surface of the pie, creating a delicate glaze. Traditionally, semolina cake was considered a quick and accessible way to delight the family with homemade baking, and its variations with different add-ins like nuts or berries make it a versatile dessert. Served warm or cooled, it pairs wonderfully with tea, coffee, or milk.
