Citrus Semolina Cake

need to adjust the brightness in this photo! ;p

Adapted from a recipe from the 'Baking Bible' - which was originally a Lemon Semolina cake with Orange Glaze







3/4 cup self raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups coarse semolina
1cup castor sugar
3/4 cup natural yoghurt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup canola oil
3 eggs
Grated zest and juice from 1 lemon
Zest of 1 freshly picked orange from the garden ;p it just happened to be lying around so I added this in!

Glaze
1/3 cups homemade grapefruit and ginger marmalade and 3 teaspoons honey


Mix dry ingredients together -instead of sifting it I like to whisk them in a mixing bowl. Mix wet ingredients and zest together in a separate jug. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour egg, yoghurt and milk mixture. Whisk into a runny batter. Pour into baking tin (i used a greased bundt tin) and bake for around 55 minutes at 180c or until top is golden.

Mix glaze ingredients and heat through in a small saucepan. Spoon over cake while still warm.

The recipe book said the cake is best served with a dollop of yoghurt mixed with some honey... :) this cake was served as it was, and was gone pretty quickly..!
