Get ready to elevate your dessert game with this incredible Semolina Cake! We are taking a traditional baking favorite and turning it into an absolute masterpiece of textures and aromas. Built on a rich foundation of creamed butter, sugar, and five large eggs, this cake uses fine-grain semolina instead of basic flour to give it a spectacular, signature crumb that holds its moisture perfectly. Infused with a dreamy, aromatic trifecta of vanilla, almond, and rose extracts, every single bite is a complex, exotic, and comforting escape into sweet luxury.

Here is how we bake this fragrant golden beauty:

Cream your room-temperature unsalted butter and white sugar together until pale, fluffy, and light, then beat in your five eggs one at a time along with the vanilla, almond, and rose extracts.

Whisk your fine-grain semolina, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl until fully combined.

Gently fold your dry semolina mixture into the wet batter until you have a smooth, beautifully thick, and fragrant cake mixture.

Pour the smooth batter into your prepared baking pan, smooth out the top, and bake until it turns a deep, gorgeous golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Crush your cinnamon graham crackers and toss them with melted unsalted butter and salt, then press the mixture firmly into your pan to form a sweet, sturdy crust.

Whip your softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and salt until light and fluffy, then slowly fold in your whipped heavy cream until silky smooth.

Spoon the creamy filling over your chilled crust, dollop the cooled blueberry jam on top, and use a spoon to swirl them into beautiful, elegant ribbons before decorating with fresh berries and chilling.
