Vegan Cucumber Semolina Cake Recipe
Cake made of cucumber, rava and coconut milk, spiced with cardamom
Cucumber Semolina Cake Recipe is a very unique recipe because of the different ingredients and textures used. Cucumber and semolina blend with each other so well to create this non-conventional recipe. We tried this during Ramadan for Iftar and we loved the juiciness that is owed to cucumbers and granular semolina. This sweet cake keeps its delicious taste for long. Serve Cucumber Semolina Cake Recipe as dessert after a meal of Mutton Rezala Recipe and Whole Wheat Lachha Paratha Recipe (Multilayered Layered Indian Flat Bread).
