You can make many delicious dishes from pumpkin, and today I propose a recipe for simple and delicious pumpkin-semolina cake cakes. Delightfully delicate and soft biscuits, spicy and not cloying, can be greased with any cream to taste. It only depends on your imagination, mood and a set of products in the refrigerator. I am sure that both the family and guests will like this pastry.
Pumpkin baked goods are good because they are combined with almost all spices and herbs, so you can add an incredible amount of aromatic additives to the dough. Semolina cakes, in contrast to baked goods with wheat flour, are especially tender, airy and friable. They are well soaked in both syrup and cream. Such a gorgeous cake can be baked just like that, for Halloween or for a festive feast. It goes well in the cold season with hot tea and aromatic mulled wine, and in the warm season with a scoop of ice cream.
