Semolina cake with orange blossom

Ingredients

For the semolina cake

  • 600 g of whole milk
  • 50 g of unsalted butter
  • 200 g of whole liquid cream
  • 120 g semolina (medium grain)
  • 65 g of honey
  • 2 medium sized eggs
  • 15 g orange blossom water
  • 120 g apple juice
  • 40 g currants

For the caramel

  • 200 g sugar
  • 100 g hot water

Preparation

  1. In a saucepan, mix 500 g of milk, butter, cream and bring to the boil. Add the semolina and cook for 3 minutes at a simmer. Transfer to a mixing bowl and leave to cool.

  2. Preheat the oven to 170°C (gas mark 5-6), fan-assisted.

  3. In a saucepan, bring the apple juice to a boil. Pour it over the grapes so that they double in volume.

  4. Once the semolina is cold, add the honey, the remaining 100g of whole milk, the eggs and the orange blossom water, then mix with a whisk. Add the raisins.

  5. Make a dry caramel by melting the sugar over low heat. When it is a nice brown color, deglaze with hot water, stirring vigorously so that it does not burn.

  6. Line the bottom of a 20 cm long dish with 150 g of caramel, then pour in the semolina mixture. Bake for 15 min.

  7. Let stand for 1 hour 30 minutes at room temperature. When serving, add a little caramel on top.
