Eggless Semolina Coconut cake | Suji cake, mix and bake in 2 ways
This cake requires only 2 bowls, one for dry ingredients and the other for wet ingredients. Just mix these two and bake it. Here I have made 2 cakes one baked in OTG and another small one in cooker.
Coconut, can’t get enough of it
Coconut is one of those ingredients that you would always find in my kitchen and it is one of those ingredients that I love to experiment with.

Step by step instructions and pictorial presentation to make semolina coconut cake
I have used silicon mould of 9×9 inches to make cake. And size of small Bundt pan is 5+1/2 x 5+1/2 inches.
1 cup = 250 ml
Keep all ingredients ready.
Prepare a greased baking dish. Dust it with some flour.
Here I have used a silicon mold.
Preheat your oven at 180degree C.
Mix all dry ingredients in one bowl. Give it a gentle mix.
In another bowl whisk together all wet ingredients.
Now gently mix together both and whisk it well so that there are no lumps at all and you get at smooth batter.
Don’t over mix. We just need a lump free batter here.
Pour into your baking dish and pop into your oven and bake for around 35-40 mins or till a skewer comes out with a few moist crumbs.
For pressure cooker method :
Remove the whistle and rubber ring of the pressure cooker.
Preheat the cooker on high flame for 10 minutes on medium flame. Carefully place a stand in the bottom of cooker.
Mix all dry ingredients in one bowl. Give it a gentle mix.
In another bowl whisk together all wet ingredients.
Now gently mix together both and whisk it well so that there are no lumps at all and you get at smooth batter.
Don’t over mix. We just need a lump free batter here.
Pour the ready cake batter into lined cake tin. Place the cake tin on stand and close the lid. Cook this on high flame for first 15 minutes and then lower the flame and let it simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.
Mine was ready in 30 minutes as it was of small size cake. After 20 minutes check with toothpick inserted.
Switch off the flame and let the cake sit inside till cooker cools down a bit.
Remove the cake from cooker and cut into pieces and enjoy with hot cup of coffee or tea.
Few points to be noted while making cake in cooker :
1. Always use old unused cooker.
2. The size of baking tin should be smaller than the size of cooker.
3. Never use water to make cakes in cooker.
4. Never use cooker whistle and gasket(rubber ring) while you use cooker to bake a cake.
5. Always maintain atleast 1 cm gap between the cooker and baking tin while placing inside the cooker.

Thank you for sharing lovely recipe …however If want to skip dessicated coconut in cake what can be added for a different flavour variation.
Thank you Alpa from writing in. Since this recipe’s main flavour is coconut I would suggest not to replace it.
However if you wish to there is mango semolina cake posted on my website. Please do try that.
I can well imagine how yummy it can be merely by visual treat. And the best part is you have showed 2 ways of making : with & without oven. Excellent post indeed.
Thank you Shailender. It was indeed a treat to tastebuds.
Such a moist and flavorful cake this is. Coconut is such a delicious ingredient and I am sure this must have tasted amazing with it.

That is such a simple and perfect tea cake, just apt for those slow evenings. It looks really soft and delicious too…
Thank you Rafeeda.
Cake looks moist and yummy. Can we use fresh grated coconut, instead of dessicated coconut in this recipe.
Hey Shivani. Fresh grated coconut might change the texture and turn dense. As I haven’t tried ever that way I really can’t be sure about that. You may try with half the measurements(small cake).
Please let me know the feedback if you try with fresh coconut. Thanks for writing in.
This semolina cake looks so delicious and perfectly baked. Loved that you have used very less maida in it, will definitely try it as I also avoid maida.
Thank you Vanadana.

The eggless coconut cake looks so moist and crumbly. I loved the addition of semolina which makes it crumbly.

What a marvelous cake this is! Love the texture of the cake and a great recipe to bake using a pressure cooker. This will be very helpful for people without oven.
Exactly Sandhya not everyone has OTG or Microwave so cooker method makes the work easy to bake.

You are right Jagruti. Thank you.
Hi this looks delicious…shall I use fresh grated coconut in place of desiccated coconut
Hi Pradeepa. You may use the fresh grated coconut but need to saute it for a while to remove the water content if any to increase the shelf life of the cake.
Thank you for reaching out.
Thanks for sharing this recipe. May I know what is the bundt pan size should I use?
The size of silicon mould is 9×9 inches
And size of small Bundt pan is 5+1/2 x 5+1/2 inches.
Thanks for writing in Winnie.

Hi Dhanashri. As you mentioned, the cake batter has turned a bit liquidy so it will take some more time to get baked.
My request, when baking cake do follow the recipe to the T to get the desired results.
