Butter Semolina Cake

Hope you guys had a wonderful xmas party,mine went absolutely fabulous and i was too excited to get almost every gift i wished to get, yep my Santa was simply awesome.Coming to this cake,this recipe was shared with us by Gayathri of Gayathri's Cook Spot for her Eggless baking group as am a part of this incredible homebakers. We prepared this cake as eggless cake and post for the month of October here. This time i tried again as a butter semolina cake with eggs coz my daughter loved the eggless version very much. This cake have raisins in it,this time i completely skipped it even my lil one who hates raisins enjoyed thoroughly this cake.

This super spongy cake goes for a flavourful topping mixture prepared with cinnamon powder,sugar and butter and this gives a wonderful aroma to the cake. Seriously this cake was bit airy and super spongy, an excellent dessert to serve with a spoon of caramel sauce and we had it for a xmas party dessert. Everyone enjoyed thoroughly each and every bite of this cake.
