It's most commonly used in making pasta, but lends a nice crumb and slightly nutty / buttery flavor to this cake.

Plain Yogurt - Plain yogurt works best in this recipe.

I have made it with nonfat Greek yogurt as well and had good results.

Semolina is a key ingredient in many Lebanese desserts such as Maamoul Mad bi Ashta and Sfouf..
