Migliaccio Semolina Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 180 C conventional. Grease and flour a 20 cm round or square cake tin.
2. Place milk and water in a large pot along with the citrus peel, butter and vanilla seeds. Bring to a simmer and slowly pour in the semola and whisk continuously (as if making polenta) for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is thick and smooth (a few lumps are okay, they will dissolve in the batter). Transfer to a bowl, cover and allow to cool down. Once cool remove the citrus peel.
3. Beat the eggs with the sugar (you can use an electric whisk, if you have one) until pale and fluffy. Add the ricotta and mix well. Add this mixture to the cooled semola, along with the zested peel and whisk well. Pour in the prepared tin and bake for 60 minutes. The surface will crack a little, creating its characteristic pattern, and the middle will feel jiggly (like a cheesecake).
4. Take it out of the oven and cool in the tin completely. As it cools down it will flatten slightly. Dust with icing sugar and enjoy.
