Get Ready For the Holidays and Christmas! Sri Lankan 🇱🇰 Love Cake (Semolina cake)

Fall in love with delicious Sri Lankan Love Cake! I call this Love Cake edible love LOL Love cake is a traditional semolina cake served in Sri Lanka. They are often baked for celebrations such as Christmas, birthdays, and weddings served wrapped in gold paper for guests to eat or take home. The Sri Lankan Love cake is ooey, gooey, finger licking good cake! The only complaint about this Love cake is that you JUST CAN"T STOP!!!!

Love cake is believed to have been introduced by the Portuguese or Dutch but has evolved into a confectionery unique to Sri Lanka. The cake incorporates a mix of ingredients from Portuguese cakes, such as semolina, together with local Sri Lankan spices, such as nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom. With the use of rose water, the cake is influenced by the Middle East.

Sri Lankans add chopped Melon Candy (preserve) which I did not add in my recipe. Enjoy the Love cake and feel free to eat seconds and thirds guilt-free!
