Mannik (Semolina Cake)

Mannik is a quick semolina cake where all the ingredients are simply beaten together in one bowl with a mixer and poured into a pan. It bakes for 40 minutes at 180°C and comes out tender and moist inside. I recommend serving it with tea - enjoy!

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 0.5 cup flour
• 0.5 cup semolina
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 100 g butter room temperature
• 1 tsp baking soda dissolved in lemon juice
• lemon juice for the baking soda

Method

 

1. Put all the ingredients into a mixing bowl - the butter should be at room temperature - and beat with a mixer until smooth.
2. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan.
3. Bake for 40 minutes at 180°C.
   
4. Remove the finished mannik, let it cool and cut into pieces. Enjoy!

Tips

• The butter should be at room temperature, or the batter won't come together smoothly.
• Dissolve the baking soda in lemon juice right before mixing.
• Let the finished mannik cool in the pan - it crumbles when sliced while still warm.
