Semolina cake is a cozy memory of home warmth and Russian cuisine. Its roots go back to the traditions of making simple yet incredibly tasty pastries from accessible ingredients. Tender and porous with a slight sour-milk hint from kefir, it delights with its softness and airy texture. Sweet but not cloying, it pairs perfectly with tea or coffee. Thanks to semolina, the cake gains a special density while remaining light. It is often complemented with vanilla, fruits or nuts to enrich the flavor even more. This cake is convenient for breakfasts and cozy tea times, and its preparation is so simple that even a beginner can handle it. The smell of fresh baking fills the home, creating an atmosphere of comfort and joy.
