Carrot Cake with Semolina
Description
The baking is simple and quick. In addition to carrots and semolina, you'll need flour, sugar, and a little butter. After baking, the dough turns out tender, porous, and airy. For aroma, I suggest adding orange zest. The taste of the semolina cake is excellent. It's perfect with tea and can be served with tea or coffee.
