Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 F (150 C) and line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a dry pan, roast the fine semolina without stirring it and without coloring it.
- When the semolina is still hot, add the butter and mix well until the butter melts and mixes well with the semolina. Set aside.
- Separate the eggs.
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture whitens and doubles in volume.
- Add the lime zest, honey, spices, rose water, almond extract and mix well.
- Add coarsely ground cashews and puhul dosi and mix well.
- Add the mixture of semolina and butter and incorporate with the spatula, without beating.
- In another bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff.
- Add the egg whites gently to the previous preparation and combine everything without beating.
- Pour the mixture into the mold and gently tap it on the work surface two or three times to expel any air bubbles.
- Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before cutting square shaped portions and serve.
TRUE LOVE CAKE
This sticky semolina cake is the first cake I ever made in my grandmother's kitchen in Sri Lanka. The fragrant, cashew-studded treat is served throughout the country at teatime or whenever guests come calling. The dense crumb and chewy edges remind me of something that would happen if a butter cake and a blondie had a baby-a pleasingly crunchy, tender, and sweet love child. In the oven, the rose water, honey, cardamom, and cinnamon start to bloom. This cake doubles as aromatherapy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch square baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Butter the parchment.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the semolina and cook, stirring, until it is very lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the semolina mixture out onto a large plate to cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat the 6 egg yolks and sugar on medium speed until pale and thick, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in the honey, rose water, almond extract, cinnamon, cardamom, lemon zest, and salt. Beat in the cooled semolina mixture and fold in the cashews.
- With clean beaters, whip the 4 egg whites to medium-stiff but not dry peaks on medium speed, about 2 minutes. Stir one-quarter of the egg whites into the semolina mixture, then fold the remaining egg whites into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a rack.
- To serve, cut along the edges of the cake to release it from the pan. Using the parchment, transfer the cake to a cutting board and cut into diamonds. Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
