Semolina Souffle Cake
- 4 1/2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup semolina flour
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 9 large eggs, separated
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- Pistachio Creme Anglaise and Tart Cherry-Pinot Noir Syrup
- Butter and flour a 10-inch springform pan.
- Wrap the outside of the pan with foil.
- In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the milk with 3/4 cup of the sugar and bring to a boil.
- Whisk in the semolina and cook over low heat, whisking often, until thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in half of the butter and the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar and transfer to a large bowl.
- Let the semolina cool completely, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the remaining butter, then stir in the 3 whole eggs, 9 egg yolks and the vanilla.
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Stir one-third of the beaten egg whites into the semolina to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whites.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Set the cake pan in a roasting pan and add enough hot water to reach halfway up the side of the cake pan.
- Bake in the center of the oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the cake is puffed and the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Run a knife around the edge of the cake and remove the side of the springform pan.
- Cut the cake into wedges and serve with the Pistachio Creme Anglaise and Tart Cherry-Pinot Noir Syrup.
