Food and lifestyle photographer Aysegul Sanford brings us today’s rustic semolina cake that’s nutty, crumbly, and packed with over a cup of pistachios!
Born and raised in Turkey, Sanford moved to the the U.S. to start her profession as a hotelier. Years later she married her American husband Dwight, whose career took them to the beautiful island Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands. She developed a passion for food and photography in her new home, and her food blog Foolproof Living was born. There, you’ll find delicious recipes and a glimpse into the life of a foodie living on a small Caribbean island.
Now to her recipe for cake! For her husband’s birthday decided to bake a dessert with his favorite snack, pistachios. Taking a spring form pan Sanford fills it with a batter made with semolina, eggs, sugar, and grounded up pistachios. After the cake bakes to a golden brown, she brushes over a honey syrup. Finally, when it’s ready to serve she decorates the top with roughly chopped pistachios and beautiful pink flowers. The verdict? “It was a big hit. He loved it so much that he awarded it the title of The Best Thing I Have Ever Made.” she says. Earn your own title and visit Foolproof Living for the recipe.
