Step-By-Step Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 160℃ and line a 9-inch (23cm) round springform baking tin with baking paper.

2

To make the semolina sponge, whisk together eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl until smooth. Gradually add laban, oil, HERSHEY’S Cocoa Powder, and dry ingredients (semolina, flour, baking powder). Mix until a smooth batter is formed.

3

Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking tin and bake for 25 minutes or until a knife comes out clean.

4

Once the semolina sponge is ready, take it out and leave it to cool for 20 minutes at room temperature.

5

While you wait for the sponge to cool, prepare the chocolate milk (soaking syrup) by heating milk and HERSHEY’S Chocolate Syrup in a pan until warm.

6

Pour the chocolate milk onto the cooled semolina sponge, making sure it soaks up all the chocolatey goodness. Don’t be shy to use it all!

7

Carefully place the cake in the freezer for an hour, allowing it to cool completely before taking it out of the tin.

8

To make the topping, blend the HERSHEY’S Cookies ‘n’ Creme bars, and pistachios in a blender until perfectly crumbly.

For the final step, decorate the cake with the crumble, coconut flakes, and HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate Chips (as needed).
