Frequently asked questions
Why does this cake need to be baked if it doesn't contain eggs?
Baking is necessary to allow the semolina to properly absorb the liquid and swell, which creates the cake's firm and consistent texture.
Should this cake be eaten warm or cold?
This chocolate semolina cake can be enjoyed warm or cold, depending on your preference. Personally, I find it more comforting served warm. However, when served cold, it develops a firmer consistency.
How long can this cake be stored?
Chocolate semolina cake can be stored in the refrigerator for about 3 to 5 days if well-covered. Make sure it has cooled completely before placing it in the fridge.
