This week my blog hop friend is Archana of Mad scientists Kitchen. She has a wonderful collection of recipes. From her recipes I choose Coconut Semolina Cake for blog hop. This recipe was unique and I didn’t came across such a combination of rava and coconut in a cake. This tempted me to try this recipe.
The cake was moist and looks mashy as rava is added. I took two slices of this cake which made my tummy full. Has coconut crunchiness in it.
Original recipe is here.
I made few alterations to the recipe.

Grated coconut – 2 cups
Rava – 1 cup
Sugar – 1 cup
