About Koh
Koh od griza is a Serbian semolina cake with a sweet vanilla-milk soak. Ivana’s childhood rendition combines wheat semolina with flour and eggs, giving the cake a soft, substantial body.
Milk brings a moist, creamy character, while sugar and vanilla provide the main sweet flavour. The fine wheat grains give the cake a delicate grain texture within the milk-rich crumb.
The cake is presented in a baking dish or in individual ramekins and served cooled. Berry preserve is an optional topping, offering a fruit contrast to the vanilla and semolina base.
