Mango Semolina cake

Mango semolina cake, Mango cake recipe, how to make healthy mango cake.

Mango semolina cake, made with Suji/ rawa , reminds so much of ‘suji halwa’, yet a very refreshing taste and texture from a normal cake baked with all purpose flour ( maida). This is a simple Sanjeev kapoor’s yogurt semolina cake recipe , which I have modified to include mango yogurt.

The lovely semolina textured mango cake was served with a cute swirl of smooth mango flavoured yougurt / hung curd and the contrast of textures made it more delicious.
