Mini Blood Orange Semolina Cakes

Step 1

Cream the Butter and Sugar until it forms a thick paste. Make sure the butter isn't melting.

Step 2

Add the Blood Orange Zest and Almond Meal. Quickly whisk, then gradually add the beaten Eggs.

Step 3

Stir in the Fine Semolina, Baking Powder and pinch of Salt, then pour in the juice of 1 blood orange.

Step 4

Thinly slice the second Blood Orange and place the slices at the bottom of your individual molds. Cover with the Cake batter and bake at 180'C for 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 5

In the meantime, prepare the Blood Orange Syrup. Mix the Blood Orange and Lemon Juice with the sugar in a small pot on medium heat until all dissolved. Let it gently reduce into a thicker consistency, then set aside to cool.

Step 6

When the cakes are baked, remove them from the oven and poke them with a skewer. Pour half of the Blood Orange Syrup over them and let them completely cool down before flipping them. Pour the rest of the syrup on them when flipped.
