Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix flour, semolina, melted butter, yogurt, 0.25 cup honey, and lemon zest until combined.

  2. Step 2

    Pour batter into a greased 8-inch square baking pan. Spread evenly and score into 9 squares with a knife.

  3. Step 3

    Bake until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean, about 18–20 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Warm remaining 0.5 cup honey in a small saucepan over low heat for 2 minutes until pourable.

  5. Step 5

    Pour warm honey over the hot cake immediately after removing from oven. Let it soak for 2 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Whip cold cream until stiff peaks form, about 2–3 minutes. Serve cake warm or at room temperature topped with whipped cream.
