For 8 portions

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup semolina
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
juice of 1 lemon
5 medium apples

Preparation procedure

Preparing the dry mixture: In a bowl, mix the flour, semolina, sugar and baking powder. If you like, add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
Preparing the apples: Grate the apples on a coarse grater or use a food processor. Drizzle them with lemon juice so they don't brown.
Assembling the cake: Grease a baking pan (diameter about 24 cm) with butter. Sprinkle one third of the dry mixture on the bottom, then add a layer of grated apples. Repeat this process until you have three layers.
Pouring with milk: Before baking, pour the cake with a cup of almost boiling milk. Use a skewer to pierce the cake so the milk reaches all the layers.
Baking: Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for approximately 50–60 minutes, until the surface turns golden and the cake is firm to the touch.
Serving: After cooling, cut into portions and serve. You can garnish with powdered sugar or sour cream.
