Semolina Cake

  • Preheat your grill or oven to 350F.
  • Melt 2 tbsp of the butter and coat the bottom of a 10.25 inch cast iron skillet.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, 3 Tbsp melted butter, and vanilla.
  • In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients: semolina and all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In two or three additions, add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture alternately with the milk, and whisk to combine between each addition.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cast iron skillet.
  • Arrange the fruit on the top of the cake batter in desired pattern, and pour any remaining juice over the top of the fruit.
  • Top with sparkling or turbinado sugar.
  • Bake on the grill at 350F for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few crumbs and the edges are golden brown.
  • Allow to cool before serving and top with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and reserved blueberries, if desired.

Smoked Whipped Cream

  • In a bowl, whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  • Add in the powdered sugar and whisk until stiff peaks just start to form.
  • Add the Traeger Smoked Simple Syrup and whisk to combine.
  • Serve with Semolina Cake, and refrigerate any leftovers.
