Tasted this traditional sooji cake first time when one of our family friend gave this cake for Christmas.Got the recipe from her and tried out immediately.I have to say, this is one of my fav cake that i have baked.I totally love the texture of the cake because the crispy part of the cake is really too good.
Ingredients:
1 cup Rava / Sooji / Semolina
1/2 cup Maida / Plain Flour
1 cup fresh grated / desiccated coconut
1 and 1/2 cup Sugar
125g Butter
1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder
1 tsp Baking Powder
4 Eggs
Method:
- If you are using fresh grated coconut dry roast it first.
- Dry roast the rava / semolina also.Keep aside.
- Add butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat them,till it become light and creamy.
- Add eggs and beat them them well,till sugar dissolves.
- Add the shifted baking powder and plain flour,cardamom powder,dry roasted coconut and semolina / rava,mix well.
- Keep the batter in the same bowl for about 3-4 hours without disturbing,it helps the cake to give fine texture.
- After 3-4 hours.Grease the 8” inch baking tin and transfer the batter into it.Bake it for about 20 to 30 minutes at 170 degree Celsius.
- Once done cool it and then slice it.
The texture of this cake is like perfectly moist at the centre and crispy at the top.Don’t miss to taste the crispy part
.
The roasted coconut and cardamom gives nice flavours to the cake.Do try this and enjoy!!!
Have a Nice Day!!!

Never heard about suji cake. Excellently done Prema. Definite go for a try.

Tried this cake yesterday and I am like “WOWWWWWWWWWWWWW”.. I should admit that I didnt expect that this cake would taste THIS good since I am not a lover of Semolina, Cardamom n even coconut. This cake makes my husband say “yumm” for every bite and my kiddo kept asking me for one more piece till mid night..The cardamom made it smell heavenly and the coconut gave a nice crunch..Awesome recipe Prema. Thank you so much for the nice recipe.

Great recipe.thank you for sharing. Just want to ask that could we substitute butter with oil ????
Yes can use the oil…but make sure the oil must be odourless.
Im not too fond of coconut in caked… Can I try the recipe without coconut ? Will it give me the same texture without coconut ?
Yup sheetal you can try it but taste may differ. ..
Followed exactly. Came out great. Only one thing. I will add 1 tsp vanilla essence to hide the smell of egg. Great recipe. Thanks.

Hi Prema,
The cake looks awesome… planning on making it tomorrow. Just wanted to know which grade semolina (rava) you used, as in the fine rava or the corase rava. Would it make any difference in the texture of the cake if either grade rava is usedk? Please do reply… want to try this cake…
