  • semolina flour
    Semolina is the hard part of the grain of durum wheat. When hard wheat is ground, the endosperm--the floury part of the grain--is cracked into its two parts, the surrounding aleurone with its proteins and mineral salts and the central floury mass, also called the endosperm, which contains the gluten protein that gives hard wheat its unique properties for making good pasta. A cream-colored semolina is used in pasta or Italian-style breads. There are difference grades: (1) Semolina flour is finely ground endosperm of durum wheat; (2) Semolina meal is a coarsely ground cereal like farina; and (3) Wheatina is ground whole-grain wheat. When other grains, such as rice or corn, are similarly ground, they are referred to as "semolina" with the grain's name added, i.e., "corn semolina" or "rice semolina."

    Cake should be prepared the day before serving to allow enough time for chilling. Can substitute Cream of Wheat cereal for semolina flour.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Nice moist cake-flan as the recipe described. Reminds me of clafoutis or a firm Japanese cheesecake. The center of mine puffed up a lot before browning- later collapsing while cooling. In my dark springform pan it took the full 60 minutes but I don’t think I overcooked it. I would prefer it with fruit or a compote. The citrus was more subtle than I expected & the cardamom stronger.
