subheading: BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

Make the cake a day ahead of serving so that it has ample time to set up in the refrigerator. We developed this recipe using Bob's Red Mill No. 1 Durum Wheat Semolina Flour. If this product is not available, substitute Cream of Wheat cereal, which is similar. Avoid very fine semolina flour that is often sold in small paper bags. We like the richness of whole milk in this recipe, but feel free to substitute 2 percent or 1 percent if that's what you have on hand; avoid skim milk. We don't recommend using part-skim or skim ricotta. This cake is great served on its own, but you can serve it with fresh berries, if desired. If you like, use fiori di Sicilia in place of the vanilla extract. Make the cake a day ahead of serving so that it has ample time to set up in the refrigerator.
