Notice that the whole composition will begin to form like a foam - so it should, normal reaction of baking soda with honey.

If foam does not appear, the composition must be hotter, be patient.

Step 10

In a whisk, boil the milk (the 350ml), when it boils, add the semolina in the rain, mix well with a whisk so that they are not lumpy.

Mix well with the mixer then add 2-3 tablespoons of the semolina composition with milk.

That's all the cream, it's very tasty and I like that it stays firm, it doesn't flow when you cut the cake.

The next one is greased with the rest of the cream.

The last sheet is placed on top and not greased with anything.

Leave the cake for a few hours at room temperature to soften well, then in the fridge to harden the cream.

Step 16

I noticed that it softens even better after 1-2 days, so without worry you can do it in advance - uncut sheets last a month.

Then slice it as you like, cut the uneven edges separately.

On top I sprinkled it with coconut, but it works well with powdered sugar or any icing you like - chocolate for example.

Good appetite!
