Made with readily available ingredients like semolina, desiccated coconut, sugar, yogurt, and baking powder, this cake is perfect for those avoiding eggs. The yogurt adds moisture and a touch of tang, while the semolina provides a delightful toothsome texture to this coconut semolina cake.

The enjoyably crumbly texture of Indian suji coconut cake, together with the flakiness of coconut makes the total effect mind-blowing. This easy coconut semolina cake uses very little milk, so stick to the quantities mentioned, to get the batter consistency right.

pro tips to make eggless semolina coconut cake recipe: 1. Semolina coconut cake relies on the semolina for its texture. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake. Mix the batter until just combined. 2.

For an extra flavor dimension, consider adding a pinch of cardamom powder to the batter.

what is eggless semolina coconut cake

 

    1. See the below image of list of ingredients for making eggless semolina cake.
how to make the sugar syrup

 

    1. To make eggless semolina coconut cake recipe | coconut semolina cake | eggless basbousa | Indian suji coconut cake | in a broad nonstick pan, add ½ cup sugar. The primary function of sugar in the syrup is to provide sweetness. The syrup soaks into the cake, adding a layer of sugary flavor that complements the coconut and semolina.
    2. Add ¾ cup water.
    3. Add 1 inch cinnamon stick. Cinnamon is a classic warm spice that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the sugar syrup. It adds a depth of flavor beyond just sugar, making the syrup more interesting.
    4. Add 2 drops rose essence. Adding it to the syrup infuses the cake with a delicate rose fragrance, making it even more inviting.
    5. Simmer it for 8 to 10 minutes on a medium flame. Keep aside.
how to make the batter

 

    1. Grease a 175 mm. (7 inch) cake tin with melted butter.
    2. Line it using parchment paper. Keep aside.
    3. In a deep bowl, add 1 cup fine semolina (rava / sooji). Semolina has a mild, nutty flavor that complements the coconut beautifully.
    4. Add ½ cup desiccated coconut. Desiccated coconut is dried, shredded coconut.  It provides a pleasant textural contrast to the soft semolina.  
    5. Add ¾ cup castor sugar. Due to its finer granules compared to regular granulated sugar, castor sugar dissolves more easily and evenly into the batter. This prevents a grainy texture in the final cake. You can also use powdered sugar.
    6. Add ½ cup melted butter. The melted butter adds moisture to the cake batter. Semolina itself is quite dry, and the melted butter helps create a moist and tender crumb. This keeps the cake from being dry and gritty.
    7. Add ½ cup curd (dahi). The subtle tanginess of curd can balance out the sweetness of the sugar and complement the coconut flavor.
    8. Add ½ cup milk. Milk helps bind the dry ingredients in the cake together, like semolina, flour (if used), and coconut. This contributes to the overall structure of the cake.
    9. Add ½ tsp vanilla extract. Vanilla extract is a classic baking ingredient known for its warm, sweet, and slightly floral aroma. It complements the coconut flavor beautifully, adding depth and complexity without overpowering the natural taste.
    10. Add 1 tsp baking powder. Baking powder is a leavening agent, which means it creates gas bubbles within the batter. These bubbles expand during baking, causing the cake to rise.
    11. Add ½ tsp baking soda.
    12. Whisk it well using a whisk. 
    13. Pour the batter into a lined tin.
    14. Spread it evenly.

The best of this cake is that it is eggless and also it does not contain any maida. Most of the cakes i have seen have maida. The coconut lends a very nice flavour to this cake and also the butter gives it an amazing texture and taste. One more plus point is that it is made without using milk maid and instead it is using curds. A wonderful christmas dessert. Must try!!

Hi I tried this recipe and the taste was awesum, infact heavenly but it all crumbled and could not remove even 1whole piece. Can i make it with all purposeflour instead of semolina with the same proportion of other ingredients too?

Thankyou so much for sharing this yummy cake recipe without maida. Today i have tried. It was yummy taste. Only problem i have faced is i could not slice . I have followed exact ingredients measurements and procedure. 180 deg for 40 mts kept. Just guide me to get proper slice cutting. If i got that slice cutting nicely then easy to serve and looks more beautiful. If i slice it is breaking but taste was no compromise. yummy yummy.Please guide me

Hi, as it is full of semolina, it would be easy to make cubes rather than making it slice. You can try chilling it in the refrigerator, and then slice it thick.
