Indian families are generally fond of Semolina. I had a lot of suji ka halwa while I was a kid. But back then, never heard about a chocolate semolina cake recipe from anyone. I opted semolina (raw) to use as a base. Why semolina?Because it fits into all the parameters, that i wanted. Healthy without using wheat flour, light without using all-purpose flour. It is light and fluffy so cake will be light. The cake after baking will be soft and moist. Moreover it is known as superfood. This is a pure vegetarian eggless chocolate semolina cake recipe.

Instructions

▢
In a large mixing bowl take Semolina, powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Mix dry ingredients. Add fresh yogurt, oil and chocolate essence to the dry ingredients. Mix it.
▢
Start adding milk to it to make a batter. Add half of the milk and keep the rest milk aside. Prepare a smooth batter and let this batter rest for 10 minutes.
▢
Meanwhile keep the oven for preheating at 180 °C.
▢
Now add the rest of the milk to the batter. Batter should be of pouring consistency. Add Salt, Baking powder and Baking soda to the batter and whisk it well.
▢
Pour the batter into a greased baking tin (8Ã¢â¬Â inches). Bake it in a preheated oven for 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
▢
Once cake is baked, take it out from the oven and de-mould it. Place the de-moulded cake on a wired rack and let it cool completely.

Notes

Ensure you give 10 minutes of resting time when you soak semolina with wet ingredients.
Just want to make Semolina cake without chocolate, remember to include 30gm of of semolina instead of 30gm of cocoa powder.
Do not use stale curd. The recipe will completely get spoiled. Only fresh curd/yogurt that is sweet in taste.
Use flavourless oil.
If you feel that your batter is thick, add milk accordingly. The batter needs to be of pouring consistency, but not runny.
Do not use roasted semolina for this recipe.
Use fine semolina (sooji).
