• semolina - 50 grams
• all-purpose flour - 50 grams
• granulated sugar - 100 grams
• baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• unsweetened cocoa powder - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a small baking dish.
2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, and mix well.
4. In another bowl, combine semolina, flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
