Lemon Semolina Cake

This cake tasted excellent to me. However, my husband thought the semolina created a sandy texture that slightly bothered him. This cake was supposed to be cut in half with the whipped cream and berries in between. However, it didn't rise very well for me and ended up very flat so I didn't / couldn't halve it. Instead, I put some lemon curd in the whipped cream, frosted the cake with that and sprinkled raspberries on top. This was not a very large cake at all, but man, it tasted good! My co-workers inhaled it. Next time I believe I might bake two of these and turn it into a layer cake, using the whipped cream / lemon curd frosting again of course.
