- Beat egg yolks, butter, and sugar until creamy. Stir in yogurt to combine. Beat egg white and vanilla sugar until stiff.
- Whisk together the semolina and baking powder, then sift the mixture into the liquid mixture. Gently stir to combine. Fold the egg white into the batter.
- Pour half of batter into the prepared pan, then top with 100 grams of frozen raspberries, now pour the remaining batter over the raspberries, finally cover with the remaining raspberries and sprinkle the hazelnut brittle over.

Looks so good and such beautiful photos! Probably works great with fresh raspberries too. Thanks for sharing this.
Pretty, Angie! I love the way semolina give cakes and cookies such a lovely yellow color. And I bet the raspberries make this so moist. Nice!
I don't think I have ever had a bite of baked goods with raspberry, only as a topping, but this looks good! Hubby loves for me to make fresh fruit desserts for him.
Oh that looks mahvelous!! The raspberries look like little jewels. I drool over anything with raspberries in it.
That looks wonderful. I am loving the raspberries.
Delicious!! What a lovely cake - the wheat is fantastic!!
This is a fabulous cake!! Love the raspberries!!
very pretty & yummy looking cake :)
I've never seen hard wheat semolina before, but it sounds lovely in this cake. Love the brittle on top, too.
This cake looks so moist!
Love the combination of raspberries and hazelnut toffee. Wonder where I can find some toffee around here?
this looks great never used semolina what a nice texture it gave!
I love all of the ingredients here, the raspberries, the semolina and the hazelnut. Just gorgeous!
What a beautiful cake Angie! Raspberries are the best! And I love hazelnut so I think the brittle is a great touch (even if I'm not too sure what brittle is exactly haha). It's hazelnut, that's all I need to know to love it!
That would be perfect with my coffee :) wish I had some now!
Looks delicious and I love raspberries.
Wow Angie - a triple threat - the semolina for gorgeous texture, those luscious berries and the hazelnut brittle. This is in my future.
Love the colour of this cake, I like semolina in my bakes too, gives a very nice texture to cakes and breads! Yum!
That looks amazing, raspberries are my favourite so this is definitely right up my alley! :-)
Texture is so important in the baked breads and you did a marvelous job there!

Oooh.. I'd love to have it toasted
beautiful colours looks delicious
Nice one... :) I agree with Wendyywy... trying to see myself biting into the warm toasted slice with melted butter.... :D
This looks great...I have never eaten semolina cake before...it must be great in taste from your well taken shots of your cake. Thanks Angie for this lovely semolina cake with the fresh raspberry in it...SLURP !
Wow, this looks like something straight out of a bakery. I love the dense yet moist looking texture and the raspberries are perfection.
I have never heard of hazelnut brittle. I can only imagine that it is the best stuff in the world. My father is a huge fan of hazelnuts (especially Cadbury wholenut bars) and I would love to find a good recipe to try out for him. Any suggestions?
Wow! I love how moist and yet dense it is. So different. Great job!
oh my, this is a wonderful cake! I love cakes that are made with things like semolina and polenta. They're so hearty and nutty tasting. These pics are also great. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers.

ooh beautiful cake perfect for 3pn German coffe time. Love the krokant accent.Yum!
So pretty!
Love the colours.. red raspberry and white flowers.. Simply gorgeous!
Hard wheat semolina? Is that the same as the usual semolina?
Aw beautiful looking cake loaf
Sure looks like the cake texture I like very much!
@maameemoomoo - a ½ food blog
There are other types of semolina, like rice, or corn. If you meant "durum wheat semolina" by "usual semolina", then the answer is YES.
The semolina I used, yellow in colour, is the one made from hard wheat or durum wheat.
Eat like a cat/drink like a dog hysterical. I love the yogurt in this cake. I don't eat wheat, have you cooked at all with chickpea flour? I just bought some and wonder if any of your recipes use it.
This is the kind of cake that goes so perfect with tea. Those raspberries in there look so nice and juicy.
*kisses* HH
I was hooked at raspberry...then I read hazelnut brittle!!! OMG I would love a slice of that right now!
Very pretty cake, love your idea to have it with some sparkling wine!
That hazelnut brittle topper is genius!! This cake looks moist & full of flavor. Love the raspberries. xo
Angie, this cake looks ridiculously good!! I love the crunchy addition of hazelnut brittle on top. Simply fabulous.
wow....beautiful...
Amazing semolina cake, loved the colors, so refreshing and inviting + raspberries, great combo in one shot. wud try it soon !

This raspberry cake looks delicious! Raspberries are my favorite berry, and they look so pretty in this. I'd love some with my tea! :)
What a beautiful bread Angie! I love the bright burst of raspberries in them and that crackly top! Scrumptious.

@Lauren
Can't easily get chickpea flour here..but I sure will love to try them in the baked goods.
Oh my goodness, this looks delicious! I don't think I've seen hazelnut brittle but if I do it might not make it onto this recipe before I eat it all :) I'm putting the ingredients on my shopping list today!
Such unique ingredients. It sounds wonderful:)
Love the raspberry cake. I never attempted using semolina. That's an ingredient that will sure keep in mind.
This is really a lovely cake. I like to have a slice with my coffee. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Blessings...Mary
Dear Angie, Thank you for your birthday wishes. Everything on the page looks so good. Your a wonderful cook. Blessings, Catherine oxo
Looks wonderful! What great photos you have of that sliced cakes - I can almost taste the raspberries by looking at it!
Wish I can have a slice of this yummy cake for my afternoon coffee.
A wonderful variation on our traditional nammoura! I love the tangy taste of raspberries and it marries very well with the semolina texture.
How did I miss this?! I love semolina desserts but semolina and raspberries looks just perfect!
So beautiful. My family is Greek and we make a lot of desserts with semolina, it just has such a great texture and nice, corn-like sweetness. My mouth is beginning to water just looking at these photos, it looks so nice and moist and dense!
Very special! The hazelnut brittle adds a wonderful texture to the cake.
everything looks lovely here... the cake is no exception :)
Ooh I love the look of this cake especially the delicious raspberries peeping through the crumbs.
I've been craving raspberries! This looks perfect for breakfast with tea...or coffee. yummy!
What a gorgeous cake. I especially love the bright color of the raspberries, so pretty! :) What a creative idea to use hazelnut brittle, that sounds amazing.
wow just love this cake. Thanks for sharing the recipe
This cake is torturing me because I can't bring myself to use frozen raspberries... Will have to just wait it out. But it looks incredible!
Wow, that looks so delicious :) I love raspberries ;)
Yummy, this looks great! Anything with whole wheat flour seems to turn out dense for me, the challenge is getting it to be moist at the same time. And this is both!
Wow this looks so awesome, Angie! I love berries baked into sweet muffins or quickbreads and also the texture you get from semolina or cornmeal. Can I have a slice, please? 8)
The thumbnail photo for this recipe was so eyecatching, I had to click on it! It's gorgeous and I love the suggestion of sparkling strawberry wine with it! Lovely....
what a gorgeous cake. Lately I'm trying to cut back on chocolate intake and replace it with raspberries. Your cake sounds perfect. wonderful photos too
