My family enjoyed this cake.

Here we have 2 kinds of semolina. A very fine one and a coarser one I prefer. This recipe uses the fine one.

Editor’s Note:  Semolina flour is a Durum wheat flour that is more coarsely ground than normal wheat flours, a result that is often obtained by sifting out the finer flour.
