About This Recipe
This cake turns out incredibly fluffy and moist, with a flavor so refined that no one would guess it's just a simple semolina cake. The secret lies in the kefir or sour milk batter, which needs to be slightly warmed before adding to the mixture – this will give the cake its special airiness. It's also important to add the semolina last and let the batter rest for at least 4 hours, or even better, overnight, to unlock the full potential of this wonderful dessert.

Preparation Steps
Step 1
Get ready for some magic: sift the flour, prepare your mixer or blender, and have your baking pan ready. Everything should be at hand to create the perfect semolina cake.
Step 2
Begin with the base: melt the margarine in the microwave in short 15-second bursts, remembering to stir after each interval. Gently warm the kefir, but do not bring it to a boil. Combine the melted margarine with the warm kefir, add sugar, and mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 3
Continue the creation process: crack an egg into the mixed ingredients, then add the baking soda. Stir once more to ensure all components are evenly distributed.
Step 4
The key is to carefully fold the semolina into the mixture. Only then should you add the sifted flour. Mix thoroughly once more and let the dough rest for several hours, at least 4, or ideally, leave it overnight – this will make the semolina cake incredibly tender.
Step 5
Final touches: once the dough has rested, mix in vibrant candied fruits, juicy raisins, and crunchy chopped walnuts. These additions will give the semolina cake a special charm and aroma.
Step 6
Baking time: Preheat your oven to 180°C and generously butter a baking dish. Carefully transfer the dough, spread it evenly, and bake for approximately 40 minutes. Your pie should rise considerably and develop an appetizing golden-brown crust.
Step 7
Serve this delightful semolina cake with candied fruits alongside freshly brewed tea, and savor every bite of this homemade wonder!
