Ingredients:
- 2 cups semolina flour
- 4 cups almond milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 lemon (zested)
- 1 orange (zested)
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup chopped candied orange peel
- 1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine the almond milk, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and orange zest. Whisk the mixture until smooth and no lumps remain.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly. Cook for about 5 minutes or until it thickens to a custard-like consistency.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the semolina flour. Stir well to combine and let it cool for 10 minutes.
4. While the mixture is cooling, soak the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
5. After the mixture has cooled, stir in the soaked raisins, chopped candied orange peel, and chopped dark chocolate.
6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with non-stick spray or butter.
7. Pour the Migliaccio mixture into the prepared cake pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set.
9. Remove the Migliaccio from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
10. Once cooled, run a knife around the edges of the cake pan to loosen the Migliaccio. Invert the pan onto a serving plate to release the cake.
11. Dust the top of the Migliaccio with powdered sugar for a beautiful finishing touch.
12. Slice and serve the ricotta-free Migliaccio at room temperature. Enjoy this light and fluffy Italian delight!
