Ingredients
1.5 cups semolina flour (medium grind)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp baking soda
0.5 tsp salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
3 large eggs, room temperature
0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 tbsp blood orange zest
0.25 cup fresh blood orange juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1.5 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
2–3 tbsp blood orange juice (for glaze)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the semolina flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Stir in the Greek yogurt, melted butter, blood orange zest, juice, and vanilla extract.
Step 4: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix the batter for your semolina cake with yogurt and blood orange glaze.
Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7: To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and 2-3 tablespoons of blood orange juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake and let it set before serving.
Notes
Ensure the yogurt is at room temperature for the best texture in your semolina cake with yogurt and blood orange glaze.
