How to Make Semolina Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the semolina flour and cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the slivered almonds.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  10. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan.
  11. Pour the hot syrup evenly over the warm cake.
  12. Once the syrup is absorbed, cut the cake into square pieces while it's still in the pan. Serve and enjoy!
