Cake with Semolina

Ingredients

• 1 cup semolina flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cane sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and shredded, such as Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or Granny Smith
• 2 Tbsp. butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 Tbsp. milk
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9X5 inch loaf pan and set aside.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the semolina flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, and baking powder.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Add to the flour mixture and using a wooden spoon mix to combine. Some lumps are okay.

4. 4

   Add 1 cup of batter to the loaf pan, followed by 1 cup of shredded apples. It’s okay if the layers are not perfect. Continue to make 2 more layers, alternating between the batter and apples. The last layer should be the last of what’s left of the apples.

5. 5

   Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Set the pan on a wire rack. Cool for about 15 minutes before taking the cake out to cool further.

6. 6

   Drizzle the cooled cake with Caramel Glaze. Slice and serve.

   In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add brown sugar. Lower the heat to low and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in 1 tablespoon of milk and cook until sugar dissolves.

9. 9

   Remove from the heat and whisk in the powdered sugar and the remaining 1 tablespoon of milk until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add milk by 1/2 teaspoon.
