sainsburys semolina cake recipe-17yrs old.lost and desperate to relocate

[liveinazoo]

when dd1 was little i had a recipe from the back of a semolina packet from sainsburys

from what i remember had make some thick semolina then add almond extract and sultanas

i have put semolina in a number of search engines as sainsburys cant help and havent been able to find it anywhere

i am hoping there is a Mnetter out there who has it squirreled away

Could it be something like this or that ?

Semolina (coarse) and nuts always spell Greek Halva to me, sweet and sticky and grainy and sirupy - the taste of my grandmothers halva was legendary!

alas not

these recipes also look very nice

good luck finding the right one!

thanks for trying metalelephant

id expexted sainsburys to know what they put on side packets!

I know what you mean, you'd think they'd have some kind of archive of recipes! I had a look (like you must have already) on their website and the almond cake might be close? I know I'm not being too helpful as I'm only repeating what you know but if you remember the cake being sponge like, I would go for that. If it was drenched in syrup, it might have been ravani, included in the recipes above.

It's so frustrating to crave a taste from the past and not quite find it... My grandma made a fantastic apple pie and the world's tastiest Mont Blanc and both my mum and I have tried to replicate them for years!
