Semolina Strawberry Mini Cakes

I should say I am obsessed with Strawberries in season, here is yet another strawberry cake! Here is Semolina Strawberry Mini Cakes.

It’s been so long, since I have baked using Almond flour! When I was following paleo, I made Gluten-free Spinach Cupcakes and Carrot Cakes. Festive season is here and to make it more special, I give you these mini Cakes.

Today it’s semolina and almond flour bake. Semolina Cakes are so popular nowadays, but this is my first bake. Semolina gives a very nice crunch to the cake and with almond flour it really tasted awesome!

Strawberries are such wonderful fruit for Baking and photography!! It has such a vibrant color. Since my insta is flooded with it, I am adding mine too.

Notes:

1. Use very fine semolina or pulse it in mixer to make finer.
2. I used reduced strawberry puree, that was a left over from my last strawberry cupcakes. You can check how to make it here. You can even make it without puree, just add more diced strawberries.
3. You can also use homemade Almond Meal. Here is a post on how to make your own Almond meal.
