Serves : 4 servings
- 1 liter milk
- 150 g extra fine semolina

Step 2
In a large saucepan, heat the milk with the sugar and vanilla sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring regularly.

Once the milk is boiling, rain in the semolina while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens.

Pour the mixture into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
Step 6

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.
