Blueberry Milk Cake Questions Answered
Can I use another jam instead of blueberry?
Yes. Raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, apricot, or cherry jam all work beautifully.
Why use semolina?
Semolina thickens the milk and creates the soft, creamy texture that makes this dessert unique.
Can I reduce the sugar?
Absolutely. The jam already adds sweetness, so you can adjust the sugar to your taste.
