Tips & Tricks
Ensure the milk is slightly warm before adding vinegar to help it thicken properly.
Let the batter rest for 15 minutes to allow the semolina to absorb the liquid and soften.
Use a toothpick to check if the cake is done; it should come out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
