Semolina cake

This cake is not super sweet, so it is good with a fruit compote. Try making one by simmering peaches with amaretto, or plums with port.

1 cup flour, plus extra for dusting

½ cup semolina flour

1/2 cup yellow cornmeal

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

8 oz butter, softened, plus more for coating pan

3/4 cup sugar

5 large eggs

1 teaspoon almond extract

3 tablespoons honey

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat two 8 inch cake pans with butter and dust with flour. Sift together the flours, cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. In a separate bowl, blend together the butter and sugar. One by one, add the eggs while beating with a hand mixer. Stir in the almond extract and honey. When it is all blended together, gradually add the dry ingredients. Divide the batter among the cake pans and bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is “springy” and lightly golden brown. Allow the cake to cool on a baking rack before cutting.
