I have shared many cakes so far we prefer semolina cakes at home .I have shared few Semolina/Rava/Sugee Cakes before.. You can have a look at Suji/Soji/Sugee Cake cake,Sugee Almond Cake and Coconut Sugee Cake Basbousa they all are equally good..This Coconut Cake which I'm sharing today is one of our family favourite .We normally make this for Rosaries /get together at our place..
The measurements of the cake is easy to remember as I use a cup /tin ( I use milkmaid tin) to measure .Check notes for measurements in gms... I also add cream/malai and milkpowder to make it more soft and fluffy .Do try it out as All ingredients are easily available at home and the measurements are easy to remember..The result is soft and delicious Coconut Cake..The garnish of pista and almonds is purely optional I used it since I had lots of pista Check the notes for eggless option..You can add cashews or keep it plain it taste great as it is..
Ingredients
a tin of desiccated coconut
a tin of rava/semolina/suji/sugee( I used fine/medium would work well too)
a tin of maida/all purpose flour
a tin of powdered sugar
1/2 cup of malai/cream
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup of milk powder
4 eggs
200 gms butter
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp vanilla essence
Pista and almonds as needed
Method
Enjoy delicious Coconut cake with a cup of coffee or soft drink
Notes
After posting this recipe I had many questions on how to make it eggless....Just replace eggs with 1 cup of yogurt not too sour..
Adding cream/malai makes it more soft ,you can skip if you wish..
I have mentioned that you can use any cup ... tea cup or measurement cup or tin to measure ,Tin which i always use to measure rice n other stuff is nothing but an empty Nestle Condensed Milk tin ..the regular one which weighs 400 gms when full...
** For those still having doubts here is the measurement in grams..flour,semolina/rava,sugar all weighs 250 gms...dessicated coconut actually weighes 100 gms but you can always add more for more coconut-y feel..i normally add around 150 gms-200 gms dessicated coconut..
Also my 1 cup measures 200 ml...

there are different types of semolina which one is preferable?
Fine one/Bombay rava/sooji is preferable but any semolina will do

Yes you can ..so happy to see you here...I still remember watching you on a Marathi channel sharing amazing recipes😍
YUMMY CAKE DEAR...
while using yogurt baking soda should be added or not
Not needed
It’s my type of cake Gloria. I just loved the presentation. It’s very tempting. I am trying today.
Made this cake today for friends cmng from Bahrain n they loved it...thank u so so much
Can we make this eggless
Hi Gloria, can we use fresh grated coconut in this recipe?
Yes you could
Hi gloria..the caje with its ingredients indeed look yumm n tempting.
But as far as I know baking a semolina cake is not instant and needs some time to get soaked...this has not been mentioned in your recipe.or wont it be grainy in the mouth ??????.will appreciate your response
This has been tried and by many and well received..I have used the finest semolina. If you want you can soak it...there is no grainy texture btw.
If eggs are replaced by curd, do we need to add baking soda? If yes, how much?
No baking soda needed
